“The recent Linux “acquisition feeding frenzy” continues, as
Coollogic, Inc. (Dallas, TX) announces that it has acquired ON
Channel, Inc. (Davis, Calif.), a leader in embedded Linux
development, for an undisclosed sum. Both companies are privately
held. ON Channel also is announcing today that it has released —
and is actually shipping — one of the first commercial
“real-world” embedded Linux applications.”

“Coollogic is a full-spectrum provider of Internet Ready
appliances and software systems, with a focus on delivering high
volumes of private-branded network appliances into large vertical
markets including network printing appliances, routers, and control
systems. ON Channel, Inc. is one of the first companies to ship
embedded Linux open source software solutions targeted towards
Internet appliance and industrial device markets.”

As a result of its acquisition of ON Channel, Coollogic now
has two major products: a hardware platform, the “E-Pilot” network
appliance; and a Linux based software platform, the “ON Channel
2000” operating system.
