Can you imagine > Linux in your coke machine?? yep, ELKS, the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset. Check it out ifg you want to learn about kernel internals because it's easier to grasp because it's smaller than the regular linux kernel. You can develop it from your main machine using dev86 tools which I found actually come with RedHat 6.1 now, so you don't have to download them separately. It was a sweet experience when my 286 using a Hercules video card and old CGA (or something) monitor (which has orange text) booted into ELKS for the first time. -- While the brown ale he quaffed, Loud then the champion laughed, And as the wind-gusts waft The sea-foam brightly, So the loud laugh of scorn, Out of those lips unshorn, From the deep drinking-horn Blew the foam lightly. --Longfellow
