| Yeah, embedded systems are really taking off, probably because of falling hardware prices. I'm actually looking into the feasibility of making an embedded branch of Darkfire Linux. There are some wireless routers that I'm going to setup in a few months and since the BSDs, my first choice don't have stable drivers available for some of the hardware I'm planning on using it looks like Linux is the way to go. QNX is another possibility but it's not free for commercial use. | |
