  linux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Linux kernel was initially written as a hobby by Finnish university student Linus Torvalds while attending the University of Helsinki.
The history of Linux is closely tied to that of GNU, a prominent free-software project led by Richard Stallman.
Linux and other free software projects are frequently criticised for not going far enough in terms of ensuring usability, and the question of Linux's usability compared to Windows or the Macintosh remains hotly debated.

 ipedia.com: Mobile phone Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Mobile phones allow connections to be made to the telephone network, normally by directly dialling the other party's number on an inbuilt keypad.
Most current mobile phones use a combination of radio wave transmission and conventional telephone circuit switching, though packet switching is already in use for some parts of the mobile phone network, especially for services such as push to talk.
Mobile phones began to proliferate through the 1980s with the introduction of "cellular" phones based on cellular networks with multiple base stations located relatively close to each other, and protocols for the automated "hand-off" between two cells when a phone moved from one cell to the other.

 Mobile phone   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
A mobile phone is a device which behaves as a normal telephone whilst being able to move over a wide area (compare cordless phone which acts as a telephone only within a limited range).
Mobile phones are designed to work on cellular networks and contain a standard set of services that allow phones of different types and in different countries to communicate with each other.
Mobile phones do not only support voice calls; they can also send and receive data and faxes (if a computer is attached), send short messages (or "text messages"; see SMS), access WAP services, and provide full Internet access using technologies such as GPRS.

 Linux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Linux started out as a terminal emulator written in Intel 80386 assembler and C which was compiled into binary form and booted from a floppy disk so that it would run outside of any operating system.
Although a running Minix system was originally necessary in order to configure, compile, install and run Linux, the Linux system quickly surpassed Minix in functionality and was soon able to boot on its own and compile its own source code.
The Linux kernel and operating system are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) which requires that all source code modifications and derived works also be licensed under the GPL, which is generally referred to as a "share and share-alike" license.

 Mobile phone - Art History Online Reference and Guide
Most current mobile phones use a combination of radio wave transmission and conventional telephone circuit switching, though packet switching is already in use for some parts of the mobile phone network, especially for services such as internet access and WAP.
Mobile phone manufacturers include Alcatel, Audiovox, Kyocera (formerly the handset division of Qualcomm), LG, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic (Matsushita Electric), Philips, Samsung, Sagem, Sanyo, Siemens, SK Teletech and Sony Ericsson.
Professional mobile radio systems are very similar to mobile phone systems and attempts have even been made to use TETRA, the international digital PMR standard, to implement public mobile networks, but normally PMR systems are sufficiently separate from the phone network to not really be considered phones but rather radios.

 Linux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The history of Linux is closely tied to that of the GNU project, a prominent free-software project led by Richard Stallman.
By 1991, when the first version of the Linux kernel was written, the GNU project had produced nearly all of the components of this system — except the kernel.
Linux users, having traditionally had to install and configure their own system, have tended to be more technologically oriented than Microsoft Windows and Mac OS users, often revelling in the tag of "hacker" or "geek." This stereotype has been undermined in recent years by the increasing user-friendliness and broader adoption of many Linux distributions.

Even the necessary Linux kernel, bootloader, and utility kernel patches are included and available for download.
What's needed to really explore Linux as an embedded operating system is a well-documented, inexpensive and readily available hardware platform that isn't based on an Intel x86-compatible microprocessor.
In our case, the program loaded will our Linux operating system and related programs and data; other possibilities would be a small monitor that knows how to download another application from the Dreamcast's serial or ethernet port; an RTOS like eCos; or -- work with me here -- a game of some kind.

 NewsFactor Network - Enterprise - White House Now Runs on Linux
The continued adoption of Linux by large enterprise in the face of SCO's legal threats is not surprising, said Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio.
Explaining the apparent paradox of continued Linux growth in the face of potential legal action, Netcraft said that "It may well be that although SCO has generated an enormous amount of attention from the media and Linux evangelists, it does not presently have the attention of IT practitioners in large companies."
Netcraft listed a variety of additional possible explanations for Linux"s increased growth despite legal threats: Companies realize the costs of migrating from Linux to FreeBSD at a later date, if needed, would be small, and they may feel the chance of a SCO victory is remote.
