“Embedded Linux seller Lineo, which filed to go public more than
three months ago, has appointed Bob Waldie chief operating
officer.”

“Lineo sells a version of Linux for “embedded” non-PC computing
devices such as set-top boxes, network routers or slot machines.
The company filed its initial public offering plans in May, one of
a host of companies that hopes to capitalize on the use of Linux
for embedded devices.”

Waldie, the company’s first COO, was founder and chief
executive officer of 15-person Moreton Bay Ventures, which Lineo
announced plans to acquire in March. The acquisition closed in
May.
