Atom Gentoo

The idea is to build a stateless operating system based on Gentoo. It would consist of a very minimal Gentoo image with automatic atomic updates. The work could consist of putting together a build service, and/or focusing on the update system, or anything around it.

Some inspirations:

• Stateless CoreOS Container Linux build scripts
• ChromeOS file system updates
• OSTree to boot and update filesystem trees
• The minimal CERN image and its HTTP read-only POSIX file system.
