What? How does one have a "proprietary" version of Linux? 74.194.82.219 (talk) 14:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By running a non-free application on top of the (free) Linux kernel. TiVo does the same thing. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 19:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have put back the proprietary tag as 'free' linux distros can be found easily on the web, but this OS is only (so far as I can tell ) supplied as an embedded OS. It looks like you cannot get the source for the proprietary components. --Brian R Hunter (talk) 10:23, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found this you tube video showing (though almost unreadable) an IBM thinkpad being booted into Linos from a memory stick. Once the Elonex ONE starts shipping we might see more information on this OS. --Brian R Hunter (talk) 10:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
