MontaVista Linux 6 Gets Market Specific
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux has gained in popularity among server and device vendors as being a
| good general purpose operating system. When it comes to device vendors which
| often have different chip architectures and needs than a general purpose
| operating system provides, there is a need for customization which adds time
| and expense to a project. Embedded Linux vendor MontaVista is now taking aim
| at that issue by splitting apart its Linux distribution into what it refers
| to as Market Specific Distributions (MSDs).
