• General information about LINUX is at http://www.linux.org



• A good overview over pre-cooked embedded LINUX systems as well as pointers to tools to ``roll your own'' is under http://www.embedded-linux.org.



• An extremely useful software package which can be found in almost any small LINUX systems is the busybox http://www.busybox.net.



• A good and pretty straight forward small LINUX system designed for network analysis and troubleshooting is: http://trinux.sourceforge.net.
  The Trinux boot and start-up scheme is built exclusively on shell scripts which can serve as an excellent tutorial on how to get things up and running.
