Swiss developers start rolling Your Own Linux Distribution

| In the works now is a live CD for the tourist office of the town of
| Oberwald in the Swiss Alps. "Its primary purpose is to give tourists a
| slide show with pictures of the area," Rosenkraenzer says. "We're
| thinking about doing the same thing for some other towns, such as Zermatt."
|
| Rosenkraenzer charges about $81 per hour for development, but offers a
| 50% rebate if the customer chooses to release the work under the GNU
| General Public License (GPL). "We'll do the work for free for open
| source projects," he says. "So far nobody has made use of that offer,
| but I think that's because nobody knows about it."

rPath wants to put RHAT and NOVL out of business

I suspect that it's another Red Hat spinoff developed the idea of
applications that are wrapped with Linux thus just require hardware, rather
than an O/S. Multitasking becomes an interesting issue, but why not just
have a browser that runs a Web-based O/S? Google/YouOS? Maybe Pen Drive O/S
instead...?
