“As Linux gains strength on the PC desktop, people are
already looking forward to its post-PC uses. The post-PC era will
see microprocessors doing more than would be possible in a
PC-oriented world.“
“Linux’s portability makes it a natural for embedded systems.
You can already buy non-PC products today with Linux inside. As
more products use Linux, the danger of fragmentation rises.”
“To preserve the benefits of Linux as a common platform and
fully connect with the post-PC revolution, Cygnus Solutions has
specified EL/IX. This Embedded Linux API based on POSIX works with
other embedded operating systems.”
