“It is Lineo’s first full embedded distribution of Linux
technology. The company has been doing custom work for Motorola and
others. Embedix Linux is designed for OEM developers to push the
market for embedded Linux on specific hardware products.”

“It is a huge milestone for us,” said Lyle Ball, Lineo vice
president of marketing. “We bet the company on Lineo [formerly

Embedix Linux is available immediately as a free,
not-for-resale download from Lineo, or in CD-ROM format for $30
from the company’s online store.
