+<h3>buildroot: making Embedded Linux easy</h3>
+
+
+Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that makes it easy generate a
+cross-compilation toolchain and root filesystem for your target Linux
+system using the <a href= "http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc C library</a>.
+Buildroot is useful mainly for people working with small or embedded
+systems. Embedded systems often use processors that are not the regular
+x86 processors everyone is used to using on their PC. It can be PowerPC
+processors, MIPS processors, ARM processors, etc. And to be extra safe,
+you do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.
