This isn't quite correct: Buildroot only supports Linux as an operating system, and is only capable of generating Linux-based systems. At least as of today. That being said, you are right that we differ from other systems such as OpenWRT in that we don't try to generate out of the box something that looks like a product. We simply package existing open-source software, make it easy to build all of them together, but we leave it to the user to add the product/project specific additions such as web interface, custom applications, etc. Nikolay: we provide packages for many web servers, and also for many Javascript libraries, which you can use to build your own web interface.
