Re: The IoT Crowd
working on a project where we've discussed doing exactly that, but the customer (who, after all, pays the bills) won't even discuss supporting anything that is not available from at least two commercial sources. Weirdly - annoyingly - Microsoft is an exception to that as "everyone uses it"; any ARM-based Linux variant that we do has to be a derivative and able to inherit security patches from a distro that PHBs have heard at a conference.
Squashing Linux to resemble the stuff Mr. 126 mentions is, as he says, probably a waste of time, just like trying to bughunt every last one out of existence: trying to do both at once will probably result in despair.
