Announcing Pokey Linux, A Yocto-based distribution of distributions for embedded systems

Pokey Linux is a platform for developing many single-application OSes, using the fewest resources possible. It is of course a reference to the Poky tool in Yocto, and the Earthbound character for the 1995 SNES game. While I have read about Yocto for years, I just thought it was a convenient and funny mnemonic way to recall a tool. While I haven't developed any code for it, it aims to be a repository of binaries that one can search and download, but also locate the package dependencies and the Yocto methods for creating it (in other words, non-technical users can work their way from a GUI-based software manager like Synaptic or Cubic, and see the steps taken to develop it, or perhaps just a few steps to make a modification). I realized this might be a better approach to indecision, as indecision of what single application OS to develop first is besides the point. Someone might want a binary with just VLC, or Thunderbird, or Midori, and nothing else (and of course, a GUI for the board support). It's also a way to learn to build without knowing what OS I need to use. In a way, it's kind of like a sideshow OS (a secondary character, not the daily driver, or side driver)
