A penguinppc.org perspective on ESC
Apr. 16, 2001

penguinppc.org has a story by Mark Hatle about last week's Embedded Systems Conference in San Francisco as seen from the PowerPC/Linux perspective. Hatle summarizes the Linux offerings he saw at ESC -- especially the PowerPC based solutions -- and offers a few opinions. Hatle writes . . .

"Well, I am here at the Embedded Systems Conference in Downtown San Francisco in the South Hall of the Moscone Convention Center. I decided to spend the day walking around see who was showing off PowerPC systems running Linux. So here is a quick summary of what I found."
