“Caldera Thin Clients will rename itself Lineo tomorrow,
changing focus to introduce Linux software into gadgets such as
set-top boxes and gussied-up cash registers.”
“Lineo is working on an embedded version of Linux called
Embedix, based on OpenLinux, a version of the software sold by
Lineo’s independent sister company, Caldera Systems, the company
said.”
“Linux has gained popularity as an ‘open source’ operating
system for servers forming the fabric of the Internet. As
previously reported, Lineo hopes to bring Linux to devices that
allow users access to only the simplest of computing
operations.”
