I found this link on LWN about embedding Linux, which is a interesting read. http://www.linuxdevices.com/cgi-bin/article_view.cgi?artid=AT2301017313 We even get a mention (about porting to the Palm - is anyone actually doing this with ELKS???). Perhaps Alistair should write and put them right, I think it particularly important to note that ELKS is 16bit and does not require nearly as much processing power/memory as the full Linux kernel.
