Foot print That depends what you compile in and which modules you load. I assume you mean memory footprint. Thing is, you can compile a *very* small kernel in size, but the memory footprint is determine at run time (perhaps some other can give you specifics). Have a look at the -tiny patchet perhaps. > 2. Wireless mainly RF , WiFi, zigbee, Bluetooth etc support Linux has support for a lot of devices, and it is reasonably straight-forward to add support for new hardware via device drivers. It is a bit difficult to answer this without the devices. You should look at the kernel and see what's supported and what's not. That's not really a topic for this list anyway. If some hardware device is not supported, and you have to write a driver for it - then you can ask here for help if you get stuck. > 2. Market survey of 2008, to check which is popular.
