TRON + Linux = "T-Linux"
An anonymous reader writes "The T-Engine Forum and MontaVista Software announced today that they are collaborating to combine the long-dominant Japanese embedded operating system, TRON ("The Real-time Operating system Nucleus"), with embedded Linux, in the hopes of creating a standardized software architecture for embedded devices that takes advantage of open source software and the benefits of Linux."
Aslong as we can use those light cycles I will be glad to use it.
I was really hoping this had something to do with lightcycles and recognizers.
Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. -FB
Personally, I think that if we have a 'tron' linux that somewhere they better make something named 'MCP'. Maybe root should be replaced with the loggin MCP.... heheheh...

I'm pretty sure Tron + Linux = "Li'l nuts"
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.

Japan - TRON Linux was announced and promptly sued into a smoking crater in the ground by Disney today. Disney representatives stated they were merely protecting their valuable intellectual property and that Linux is only used by thieves, anyways. MSFT rose 4 points.
Linux kernel renamed "Master Control Program".

Embedded fanaticism?
A fanatical penguin?
An embedded penguin fantacism?
Short answer I don't know apart from what has been said below, branding and marketing. It gives them a solid base to draw support from, by using a well known and trusted name.
That's GNU/TURD asshole!
hee hee, neutered asshole.
"The Real-time Operating system Nucleus" should be called "TROSN"
Bless you.
easy killer.

It goes from God, to Jerry, to me.
In related news a flurry of lawsuits were recently filed:
The first was filed by Disney, because they OWN TRON.
The second was filed by SCO, because they OWN Unix, and this whole TRON thing might somehow cut into their profits.
The third was also filed by SCO. It was a billion dollar lawsuit against Disney. SCO also threatened to pull Disney's TRON license, which could prevent Disney from using bits, light cycles, or recognizers, or strange old men rotating in I/O towers at any future time.
.sig wanted. Inquire within.
"not trolling, but a genuine question: advantage of open source I can understand - what benefit does linux bring to the embedded world, if they already have the core OS?"

Ha! Somebody should print the source code and write an article about how they installed Linux on a ream of paper...
"Derp de derp."
"TRON - fighting for the users."
