Linux in a stick of gum may be the answer...

Owen Holland of the University of Essex is experimenting with automous flying robots. His robots contain a Gumstix Linux computer for their brains. A Gumstix computer is call that because it is not much bigger than one. Professor Holland's next goal is to get several of these flying robots linking up wirelessly to form a computing cluster and to be able to fly in formation like a flock of birds. I cannot wait to see that. We all know that computers are becoming smaller all that time. Combine that with the amazing work being done with open source software such as Linux and the opportunities are endless. How are you using this potential in your products.
