“Event Demonstrates Embedded deployment poised to outstrip
desktop use.“
“MontaVista, Inc., developer of the Hard Hat TM Linux®
operating system for embedded applications is sponsoring two, free,
full-day seminars aimed at educating attendees on the use of Linux
in a variety of embedded-control designs. As the leading solution
provider for embedded Linux technology, MontaVista is uniquely
positioned to host a forum featuring key Linux technologists,
partners and industry analysts. The seminar series, titled “Linux
Inside,” debuts in the Silicon Valley at the Santa Clara Marriott
hotel on May 31 and in La Jolla, California, on June 5, at the San
Diego Marriott La Jolla.”
“The Linux operating system has garnered a solid core of
adherents in the desktop and server markets, and is gaining major
penetration into the embedded and pervasive systems markets. “Linux
is giving Microsoft a run for its money on the desktop. The real
battle now is in the currently fragmented embedded space — Linux
presents the first ever mainstream open source embedded platform,
with features that make it an ideal fit for contemporary and future
embedded applications,” explains Jim Ready, MontaVista CEO and
seminar keynote speaker.”
