Kernel space: A tiny Linux for the embedded world
,----[ Quote ]
| An announcement of the revival of linux-tiny, a set of patches aimed at
| reducing the footprint of the kernel, mainly for the embedded world, has led
| to a number of linux-kernel threads. The conversations range from the proper
| place for linux-tiny to reside to the removal of the enormous number of
| printk() strings in the kernel. They provide an interesting glimpse into the
| kernel development process.

| an entity.

| "It's one of those rare "perfect" kernels," Torvalds wrote in a
| Linux kernel mailing list posting announcing the new kernel.
