Hi Karim, I feel that same that "embedded Linux" is an adjective. Your article makes the point more clear.
Often, I tried to use "Linux inside" or "Linux embedded" to describe our embedded systems that use Linux as operating system. Yet, it gives the impression that we are putting a desktop into an embedded system. Hopefully, the "Embedded Linux" has more strict meaning when we use as noun again.
