“Moreton’s chief software wizard, Greg Ungerer is presenting a
technical paper at the Linux World Conference in San Jose, Calif.,
on Aug. 11, 1999. In Mr. Ungerer’s paper, “Building Low Cost
Embedded Network Appliances With Linux,” he presents Linux as the
new standard for embedding in internet appliances and internet
devices.”
“Mr. Ungerer cited three reasons why Linux will dominate
this embedded market.”
“Linux is robust. It is rich in features.”
“… embedded appliances are of necessity very cost sensitive.
And Linux is of course free.”
“the bulk of the cost of developing an embedded appliance
solution often lies in the software development.”
