Announcing Voyage Linux & status update

There has been a long long time not updating punknix.com. Apart from my work, I has been very busy with my part-time studies these days. The reader should noticed that I have an article categories called Technology Management, which is used to record my studies summary or project assignment. When I have time I will continue to contribute stuff under this category.

Before X'mas last year, I had started an open source project called Voyage Linux, which delegate the idea from pebble. It is yet-another light-weight Linux distro for low-end to embeddedd systems. What it differs from pebble is that it is a trimmed-down Debian Sarge in opposed to Woody, and it embraced 2.6 kernel. Moreover, Voyage is completely buildable from scratch and is designed to be highly customizable to make your distro. This is particularly important for people who want a fast-start way to have their own version which can be easily deployed to a number of embedded systems, and Voyage exactly fits to this category.

Apart from Voyage Linux, I have also started my business to sell wireless systems that is based on WRAP boards and Voyage Linux. The business model in my mind is to continue supporting and enhancing Voyage Linux as an open source project, while selling the wireless hardware which delivers the most of the value from it. Since there are so many cafe/resturants in Hong Kong, they are the ideal market segment for this product as they generates significant demand for wireless access.
