“EMJ Embedded Systems, a leading distributor of embedded
solutions, has lowered the costs for developing embedded
applications. White Dwarf Linux (WD Linux) 1.0 is now
available.”

Containing more than 40 software packages, including a web
browser, an Apache 1.3.11 web server and email capability, White
Dwarf 1.0 is based on the most recent Linux kernel:
2.2.14.

“This tiny distribution of Linux is ideal for Internet
appliances,process control, medical equipment, industrial
automation, wireless applications and testing equipment.”

“Linux is the wave of the future when it comes to embedded
applications,” EMJ Embedded Systems Vice President Mark Estill
says. “Because wd linux is open source, developers have the ability
to modify their applications whenever they want. Gone are the days
of paying huge licensing fees for a proprietary operating
system.”
