Caldera showed off Volution, a comprehensive network management solution. IBM was here with the Linux wristwatch. The hardware for the watch came from IBM, Japan but all the software development is being done in IBM, India. What we saw here was not the completely built-up watch that was shown at Linuxworld but rather the disassembled version. Kernel is 2.2.1, which stands at a little less than an MB, uncompressed.
Navigation is via touchscreen or rollerwheel.
Bluetooth is also supported. Battery life is 6 hours but work is being done on that. CDC Linux were there to show off Beowulf computing. Unfortunately, power and voltage problems put a damper on their plans. Their 10-machine layout was plagued by machine reboots, which meant that they were unable to fully demonstrate the power of their Beowulf solution.
