“It is a particular honour to receive an award based on the
first release of a completely new tool. The fact that French users
rate Blue Cat so highly already has to be regarded as significant
not only here, in Europe, but world wide too.“
“The BlueCat Linux embedded operating system from LynuxWorks,
Inc., has scooped the French magazine Electronique’s Electron d’Or
award for the most significant development in embedded tools and
software over the last year. The award is based on a poll of tool
users.”
“In their citation, Electronique said, “Combining the
reliability of Unix and the «Open Source» low
distribution cost, the Blue Cat Linux operating system is a version
of Linux specially proportioned for use in embedded systems. It is
based on the Red Hat 6.1 distribution, containing the Linux 2.2
12-20 kernel. This environment allows the cross- development of
embedded applications with a simple PC running Red Hat.”
