If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.
readers choice

I didn,t get a chance to vote but I would definately give my vote to Sranton Karate School for #1 martial arts school go Master Frank.
favorite podcatcher
On February 15th, 2009 volcheck says:
I'd like to suggest that you ask for a favorite podcatcher
(mine's Gpodder). I second the proposal above to include
favorite Linux podcast as a question. (I'd pick
TheCommandline.net although it is more generally
oriented to technology and software not just Linux.)
Will there be an Editor's Choice this year?

No Vim?
On February 14th, 2009 Jacob (not verified) says:
Why is vi on the list, but no Vim? Didn't Vim win the favorite text editor award as recently as 2005?
Survey Choices
On February 13th, 2009 Anonymous (not verified) says:
How about "Home brew" or "made it myself" for choices of desktop/server makers. I only bought a BRAND new laptop and have had so many problems, it was ridiculous the cost to DELL.
Going back in time
On February 12th, 2009 Keith Thomas (not verified) says:
Gosh, when was this survey posted, in the year 2000? Neither of my two favorite programming languages were listed, Scala & Groovy.
Revision for next years awards
On February 9th, 2009 RyanMcCoskrie (not verified) says:
Next year could you include a "no prior experience" option in each category?
I haven't had very much experience in servers and revision control nor have I been
able to buy a complete computer at once so I left many questions with "no comment"
and I expect many others have done the same.
No email server category?
On February 9th, 2009 Andrew Codrington (not verified) says:
How about an email server category?
Why do the email clients get all the limelight? :-)
Disclosure: I work tirelessly for Xandros, the company that owns Scalix and Scalix would be a very strong contender in the email server category.
backup software
On February 6th, 2009 stephen scheldt (not verified) says:
Arkei is my preferred backup software.
CMS
On January 30th, 2009 Karl (not verified) says:
JustPageIT has a larger installed base than some of the CMS's that made the list.
irc client?
On January 29th, 2009 sadsfae (not verified) says:
I really like weechat, sad to not see it on the list.

Favorite Podcast?
On January 29th, 2009 Rich Brown (not verified) says:
How about what's your favorite Linux podcast?
(Linux Outlaws)
What about VIDEO???
On January 29th, 2009 Robert Geiger (not verified) says:
I've been using Cinelerra and OpenMovieEditor with Great Results, with Kino for getting video from Camera, on UbuntuStudio's 64 but optimized kernel. Let's start promoting Video a little!
Thanks!
Netflix Roku is myFavorite Linux Device
On January 28th, 2009 Oldfrog (not verified) says:
I wonder how they missed it? It was even on many top lists last year.
Geany wasn't there! So it
On January 21st, 2009 Anonymous (not verified) says:
Geany wasn't there! So it went into other at least.
No "other" in monitoring system
On January 21st, 2009 Juanra (not verified) says:
I would have picked other and write "hobbit" or "xymon" (its new name). It's a great tool
It seems a bit strange
On January 21st, 2009 Fred (now with a unique name so I can post my comment) (not verified) says:
It seems a bit strange that AbiWord and Gnumeric are two separate entries, but OpenOffice is a combined one? As AbiWord and Gnumeric tend to go hand in hand, shouldn't they, sort of, be combined in the Office question?
I was surprised that git
On January 21st, 2009 Anonymous (not verified) says:
I was surprised that git wasn't listed in the revision control category.
You're right
On January 21st, 2009 Carlie Fairchild says:
Good catch. Since we *just* posted this I went ahead and added git under revision control. Thanks for pointing that out!
