Linux port.

“In the wake of the gadget-filled halls of COMDEX last year,
perhaps we should have seen it coming. But Xybernaut, a company
that makes wearable computers, has just confirmed that its most
recent wearable PC, now runs Linux.”

“John Moynahan, chief financial officer and senior vice
president at Xybernaut, cited Linux’s inherent network-friendliness
and its overall strength as an OS as two major reasons why Linux is
a solution for wearable PCs. An increase in customer demand for a
Linux port–particularly among Europeans–was also noted as one of
the strong motivations for making Xybernaut’s Mobile Assistant IV
work with Linux.”
