> "Embedded Linux Market"
Thanks a lot for your information especially for the links!
Yes, for me they are embedded enough, because they are (at least partly)
using proprietary hardware and - I am not quite sure - maybe they are
diskless.

Currently I have about one dozen answers but most of them
are based on a distribution.

Currently nobody, but we will wait.

Of course, one of the most important features is the TCP/IP implementation,
but there are more. For example you do not have the classical
host-target development.
Beside this, if you compare Linux with Windows CE, which is also meant
for this market, you'll see, that Linux uses less resources.
You have good development systems and - of course - is free (price and
source).
Nevertheless, a free tcp/ip implementation would be a kick ass.
Best regards,
Jürgen.
