“Embedded Linux Proving Ideal for “Post-PC” Internet
Appliances.“
“MontaVista Software Inc., developer of the Hard Hat(TM)
Linux® operating system for embedded computers, today announces
that Hard Hat Linux is the software engine for the world’s first
standalone Internet radio. Cupertino, Calif.-based Kerbango, Inc.
developed the Internet radio for accessing Web-based streaming
audio without a PC. The announcement was made as Kerbango unveiled
its Internet radio at the DEMO 2000 conference, an annual forum
showcasing the year’s most exciting new products and
technologies.”
“MontaVista software is privileged to be Kerbango’s preferred
supplier for embedded Linux,” says MontaVista Software President
and CEO Jim Ready, a pioneer in real-time embedded operating
systems. “With its wealth of networking software, Linux is
naturally accompanying the Internet revolution as the host to
applications like Internet-enabled multi-media, SOHO appliances and
home network gateways. Kerbango’s Internet radio is an outstanding
example of a post-PC device with ‘Linux Inside’.”
