Techweb: Torvalds Pushes Mobile Linux Feb 2, 2000, 01 :44 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (6112 reads) (Other stories by Paula Rooney)
"When Linus Torvalds takes center stage at LinuxWorld on Wednesday, he
will no longer wear the hat of the impartial shepherd of the Linux
operating system, but that of the creator of a new Linux distribution,
Mobile Linux."
"Transmeta's TM3120 Crusoe processor and associated Mobile Linux
distribution, officially unveiled on Jan. 19, are aimed solely at OEMs
building mobile Internet devices. Mobile Linux is a ROM-based Linux OS for
mobile systems without hard disks that offers unique power management
features and a reduction in the memory footprint."
"Torvalds, an engineer at Transmeta, denies that the company has designs
on the software side of the business. Transmeta will release Mobile Linux
to the open source community and will not support end users of Mobile
Linux."
