It seems they are announcing that they will help with the project.

I don't think so. AFAICT this is not an Intel project.

By Linux I mean just the Linux kernel and include all embedded systems.

I know that this is impossible to find out accurately but we could have a go at counting up.

For starters how many android and TomToms are there out there? Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:16:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (LouisBarman) Comments Quick start http://www.osnews.com/thread?447647 http://www.osnews.com/thread?447647 For actual technical details, see quick start:

You may include the means that usually connect a "Windows" PC to the Internet - the modem, today often something like a DSL modem + router + switch + DHCP server + NAT + line splitter + phone appliance + firewall + storage + WLAN + cordless phone base + who knows what; a real egg-laying wool-milk-sow.

They usually run a customized kind of Linux. Here in Germany, those devices are very common and can be found nearly everywhere where a PC is connected to the Internet (because the alternatives, POTS + regular modem, or ISDN, are hardly found today). I'm sure the situation in other european countries is similar or at least comparable.

It's quite easy to conclude what this implies to your idea to add Androids and Tomtoms to the amount of Linux installations running. Add them up, too. :-) Sat, 30 Oct 2010 03:22:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Doc Pain) Comments
