No MMU, very tight RAM and code space. Note that they are not based on Linux, but on uCLinux, which is something different. RTEMS should be a good candidate - it is not Linux, but unfortunately has large portions under GPL too. But considered the small price distance to the smallest Soekris, which runs FreeBSD, only the size and supply power is an interesting point. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
