yup, that's the pic i was looking for, but i'm sure i actually saw
it elsewhere in a book. no big deal, of course, but if anyone can
refresh my memory as to what book it came from, that would be cool.
it might have been a book specifically on embedded linux. perhaps
chris hallinan's book? which i don't have in front of me at the
moment. thanks.
