Emdebian Grip is a discontinued small-footprint Linux distribution based on and compatible with Debian.Compared to Debian, it provides more fine-grained control over the package selection, size, dependencies and content, enabling that way creation of small and efficient Debian packages for use on resource-limited embedded systems.
