Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

From http://www.sys-con.com/node/1523620 (the linux in minutes articles):
1. "Linux (pronounced “Line-ooks”)" - err, nope, http://dl.nux.ro/audio/linus-says-linux.ogg
2. "Consumer devices that run the Linux kernel include:
Amazon Kindle (and most other e-readers)
Android devices
PalmOS devices (Palm Pixi, Pre)
iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod ect…)
PlayStation 3
TiVo"
Holy cow! This guy is smart! I don't know about all of them, but the Apple stuff most certainly does NOT run linux on it.
re:From
Yeah, PalmOS was developed independently for Palm devices by PalmSource, a subsidiary. PalmSource was acquired by ACCESS. Palm later bought the rights to the OS and named it Garnet OS. PalmOS 5.5 was developed by ACCESS and is run inside the GarnetVM virtual machine. GarnetVM is part of the Access Linux Platform which also runs on some Nokia devices.
Apple's iOS devices have Mac OSX components, shared with the Darwin core.
Not mentioned is iOS for Cisco routers, which now has a QNX microkernel. Cisco's and Apple's OS aren't related.
