| The XPedite7170 can be bought with a Linux Support Package ("LSP"), as well
| as board support packages (BSPs) for VxWorks, QNX Neutrino, and Green Hills

| implementation except to say that it is based on a Linux 2.6 kernel.

The Cold Hard Facts About Heat

| One of my favorite computer stories is about my first web server. I had
| mentioned it previously, but I’ll provide a quick recap here. Back in the
| day, I put together a Linux web server using a 486-DX2 box I had lying
| around. Aside from being impressed that this “Linux thing” actually worked, I
| was impressed with the fact that a lowly x86 box could do a great job serving
| web pages. Of course, back then web pages were basic HTML 1.0, but compared
| to other more expensive UNIX servers this system was a real bargain.
