 "Red Hat eyes handheld market
 Linux to compete with Windows CE following
 Cygnus acquisition."
from the following articles.
http://www.nwfusion.com/archive/1999/81086_11-22-1999.html

 With this news we might see Linux running on a whole bunch of embedded
devices.  I'm not going to comment and quote the articles except to recommend
highly taking a look at it and pondering how big of an impact this could have.
Do take note to the comment about , and I quote -so I lied. :

""We will now offer a single set of APIs, libraries
and programming tools for everything from
systems such as palm-tops and handheld
devices to powerful servers," Troan says. This
will help programmers because they will have
one set of APIs to write to for both platforms. "

Does any other OS have that ability or development direction???
I believe I know the answer.
