Reincarnated appliance runs Linux at ESC
,----[ Quote ]
| Originally, the PIC was tied to Windows CE by General Software,
| which developed the device's BIOS software. This enabled the
| device to be marketed at cost or as a loss leader by service
| providers, with the assurance that the device would not become
| the next NetPliance I-Opener.
|
| Now, the PIC has been re-incarnated by Data Evolution Corp.
| (DEC), which is marketing the device as the "decTOP." As the
| decTOP, the device can run either Linux or Windows CE 5.0.
| However, DEC said it is "committed to enabling open source
| development for the decTOP," and actively invites enquiries
| from those interested in participating in the device's open
| source development.
