Review of Embedded Linux Book

An Anonymous Coward writes "LinuxDevices.com has just published a very detailed review by Jerry Epplin of the new book by Craig Hollabaugh, Embedded Linux -- Hardware, Software, and Interfacing, published by Addison Wesley Professional. Quoting briefly from the review, "A system developer planning to use Linux for an embedded design is faced with a number of decisions, not the least of which is whether to use a packaged commercial Embedded Linux distribution or to devise a homebrew solution from the available free tools and components. The custom approach has much appeal because of its low cost and radical flexibility, allowing one to choose any approach or tool rather than those chosen by the toolkit vendor. But with this flexibility and low cost comes the chaotic documentation typical of Linux. Thus, books like [this one] fill a significant void . . .""

    Do those who make it care?

    Do those who will empty-minded buy it care?

    Do I, running Linux and happy as a clam, care about it, since I'd probably buy a PS2 + Linux Kit?

    Well, I care. It's a curiosity. The other day I saw this female elephant giving birth, kinda beautiful...
