Some very good ressources are http://www.linuxdevices.com http://www.linux-automation.com/index_en.html Especially on the first site you'll find lots of whitepapers about almost everything. > I want to know how many flavors of embedded Linux are out there, who > is maintaing the changes, version info, drivers info, etc. First of all, there is not such a thing like an "embedded Linux". You can take a normal kernel from www.kernel.org, configure it to your needs (just the drivers that your hardware needs, optimized for the processor and ressources etc). Besides the kernel you also need all the basic tools which make a very minimal Linux system. A very good choice for this job is busybox: http://busybox.lineo.com You can either try one of the ready made distros mentioned on the page or build your system from scratch. A good reference about how to to this is ftp://oss.lineo.com/buildroot.tar.gz There's a bootfloppy image on ftp://oss.lineo.com/busybox/busybox.floppy.img which can simply be written to a floppy: dd if=busybox.floppy.img of=/dev/fd0 Might be also a good start.
