To me the question isn't entirely clear. There are embedded linux distributions, and there are linux distributions that you may use to compile and develop the embedded linux distribution on to then deploy to a platform.
In the latter scenario I tend to use debian, and where I don't use debian I use slackware. In that operating system I then build the distribution which I would deploy onto my hardware, and that has been OpenWRT, dd-wrt, debian, Yocto and Android.
Though there are potentially many more embedded linux distributions. Some based on FreeBSD, others based on CentOS, etc.
