a number of embedded consumer boxes just release tarballs of the stock 
distribution software, without any of their modifications, drivers, or 
build configuration.    try and find sources for, say, a WD TV Live, and 
you'll find  a tarball of distribution tarballs of the linux kernel, 
ulibc, and various other such things, all dead stock.
