Matchbox is a base environment for the X Window System running on non-desktop embedded platforms such as handhelds, set-top boxes, kiosks and anything else for which screen space, input mechanisms or system resources are limited.
So I present you the Gentoo Matchbox project! |

If your target is a not so strong system won't it be more logical to use somthing less resource intensiv then Gnome. For instence Xfce.
My 2 cents.

Yes, the ebuilds are old...
But I sent an email to Gentoo recruiters today saying that I would like to become a maintainer for these ebuilds.
Hopefully they say yes  |

Wow... looks like an awsome project. I'll give it a whirl, and hopefully we'll see some new ebuilds soon.
