Linux is making its way very deeply into embedded devices, from consumer electronics to embedded devices to in-vehicle infotainment. According to a 2008 VDC report, Linux is used by over 18% of embedded developers, making it the most popular embedded operating system. Its popularity spawns something dear to the hearts of software developers: jobs. A 2010 study by the Linux Foundation showed that the market for Linux jobs has grown 80% over five years, with a large percentage of those in embedded Linux. How do you join the fun? The Linux Accra, Ghana User group has compiled a quick and easy guide to getting started with this exciting area of computing. Join us every Saturday from 2pm to 5pm gmt for all your Linux training and solutions.

Even changing your whole desktop-appearance, not just a few parts, suddenly becomes a snap. Yet, inexorably the moment will come that you encounter a 'silly problem' that only can be solved by delving through the Linux file system. Different from C:\WINDOWS is its organization, but not so much that you can't understand things. In fact you'll understand the contents of the Linux FS much better. Most of its files are 'text'-files that become executed and can be changed with ease, which requires some caution at first. What's where is often asked. Let us take a look...

Hardly 2 Linux installations are exactly the same. To make a 'virus' for it is by virtue of its protocol the most stupid and time-wasting paste-time one can imagine. Linux can be defined as a 'protocol', defining the way how data is manip
