	I am a little concerned that a typical Linux hacker's idea of an
embedded system is a small form-factor i386-based motherboard with at
least 128MB of RAM and a multi-gigabyte hard drive. And running Linux, of
course. This isn't a very realistic view of many commercial systems, IMO.

	You could always try developing on the Sega Dreamcast...:) As a
development platform, it has the very lowest barrier to entry of any
console out there.

	The DC thing got put on the back burner. I'm always shifting
around to different projects. It could come back to the forefront at any
time.
