Linux gains new architecture support
,----[ Quote ]
| Dozens of network-attached storage (NAS) servers and other consumer
| appliances are about to gain mainline kernel and Debian GNU/Linux support.
| The 2.6.25 kernel, currently in the final stages of testing, will support
| Marvell's Feroceon micro-architecture and "Orion" SoCs, with Debian support
| close behind, sources say.
|
| Yesterday, Linus Torvalds launched release candidate 7 (rc7) for the 2.6.25
| kernel, commenting, "Give it a good testing, because we're hopefully now well
| on our way towards that eventual real 2.6.25 release!" The comment suggests
| the newest kernel could well launch this week.

All About Linux 2008: Five cool devices running embedded Linux that you aren’t
using
,----[ Quote ]
| As previously mentioned in this week’s Orientation, Linux is not limited to
| just desktops. It’s far reaching, actually. Not that you’d have a Terminal
| app on it or anything, but you could. Some of you may have a mobile phone
| running Linux and you probably don’t even know it. The most popular phone in
| the world runs Unix. That’s right. The iPhone, my arch nemesis, runs on Unix.
| Are there any other cool mobile devices out there running on Linux or Unix?
| Of course there are. Enter, dear friends, and be amazed.
