Linux Operating System

Linux Update:

Linux 2.4 http://www.northernjourney.com/opensource/linside/li009.html

	On May 25, 2000, Linux Kernel 2.4.0.0-test1 was released as a prototype and on June 23, 2000, 2.4.0.0-test2 was posted to the Linux Kernel Archives.
	the maximum number of users : approximately 4.2 million concurrent processes. (good for large-scale database doing large numbers of online transactions.) Previously the thread limit was 1024, which led to poor performance with large numbers of users.
	Linux 2.4 can utilize more than 4Gb of RAM, more than 16 ethernet cards, more than 10 IDE controllers, and multiple IO-APICs (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controllers).
	SMP support: optimized for 8 or more processors.
	The file size restriction of 2 gigabytes has been removed.
	UPDATED: Joe Pranevich --Wonderful World of Linux 2.4 -"Back on the Table Edition" Feb 7, 2000, http://linuxtoday.com/stories/15936.html

	kernel web daemon "khttpd"
	Linux supports a kernel module which can process HTTP requests without having to communicate with any user space servers (such as Apache.) It is not designed to replace Apache or any other web server and it can be used only when serving raw files (no CGI.) If it receives a request for something that it cannot handle, it will "pass through" the request to user space where a web server can snatch it up and process it without ever being able to know the difference. This feature will make Linux an even better choice for rapid-fire web serving of static content, such as dedicated image servers.

Linux Embedded Systems (updated September 25, 2000):

	ARM Linux: ARM Linux is a port of Linux to ARM-processor-based machines. The ARM port runs on several different machine and processor architectures, including complete computers, network computers and evaluation boards. There are also projects for porting Linux to palmtops and PDAs (like the Geofox).
	BlueCat Linux: BlueCat Linux, due to be released in January 2000, is a port of Red Hat Linux optimized for embedded applications, It's developed by Lynx Real-Time Systems, the firm that does the LynxOS operating system for embedded applications. BlueChat requires Minimum 16MB RAM Minimum 900MB Hard Disk Space per Target
	ELKS: ELKS--the Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset--began life as a project for creating a distribution of Linux for 8086 and 80286 PCs, but was expanded to support Linux on palmtop computers, single-board microcomputers, and embedded controller systems. The ELKS kernel image needs about 200K, and a full running system should require 400K-512K. The ELKS source releases include ready-built kernel and root disk images.
	EMJ-Linux: EMJ Embedded Systems has developed a small Linux distribution (based on Slackware 4.0) that runs on JUMPtec’s DIMM-PC/486, one of the world’s smallest PCs--a full-featured 486 PC in the size of a 144-pin memory DIMM. It measures 40x68 mm (1.57 x 2.68 inches). It ships with 16 MB of DRAM, 16 MB of IDE compatible flash . The EMJ-linux distribution consists of a 1.4MB bootdisk containing everything needed to do a network install of EMJ-linux. Once loaded, the DIMM-PC with Linux supports Ethernet, TCP/IP, telnet, FTP, Apache 1.3.9.
	et-linux: et-linux is a complete Linux system designed to run on small industrial computers. The 1.0 and 1.1 systems are based on libc-5 and Linux kernel 2.0, while Et-Linux 1.2 is based on glibc 2.1.2.
	Embedix: , including non-X-based graphical APIs and extensions for placing Linux in FLASH RAM. Embedix from Lineo Inc. : requies 8MB RAM, 3MB of ROM/Flash memory (Linux 2.2) http://www.lineo.com/

Linux Router: This networking-centric micro-distribution of Linux, developed by the Linux Router Project, is small enough to fit on a single 1.44MB floppy disk. It's designed for building and maintaining routers, access servers, thin servers, thin clients, network appliances and typically embedded systems that are next to trivial in size.

RTLinux: Technically, RTLinux (RealTime Linux) isn't really a Linux distribution, but rather an extension to Linux that handles time-critical tasks. In RTLinux, a small hard-realtime kernel and standard Linux share one or more processors (SMP).

uC-linux : uC-linux is a Linux distribution designed for the Motorola ColdFire processor family. The code is based on Linux kernel version 2.0.38, with the uC-linux patches applied. uClinux' : http://www.uClinux.org/ http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT6245686197.html

	The current (small) configuration can run totally from the 1Mb of DRAM on some evaluation boards. http://www.moretonbay.com/coldfire/linux-coldfire.html
	Common Linux API, uCkernel < 512 KB; uCkernel + tools < 900 KB; Full TCP/IP stack -- uClinux is an internet-ready embedded OS; Support for numerous other networking protocols; Support for numerous files systems, including NFS, ext2, ROMfs and JFFS (Journaling FLASH File System), MS-DOS, and FAT16/32

VMELinux: Currently supporting the Tundra Universe PCI-VME, this project has the goal of supporting Linux on the VMEbus.
