conan.sh writes "Make Linux Software presents the fastest ever embedded Linux boot for 720 MHz ARM and NAND flash memory. Linux boot time is 300 milliseconds from boot loader to shell. The first goal of the project is to achieve a minimal boot time of a minimal but functional Linux system on common hardware. The second goal is to provide a platform for developing more functional systems with an even minimized boot time.

An anonymous reader writes "The Linux Kernel is one of the most complex open source projects. There are a lot of books, however it is still a difficult subject to comprehend. The Interactive map of Linux Kernel gives you a top-down view of the Kernel.
You can see most important layers, functionalities, modules, functions and calls. You can zoom in and drag around to see details. Each item on the map is a hypertext link to source code or documentation. You can buy poster of the map."
