In the Linux world, the closest equivalents would be the Maemo OS of the Nokia Internet Tablets (a slimmed down Debian) and Ubuntu Mobile Edition (a slimmed down Ubuntu). The design of Maemo is heavily dependant on D-Bus, using it as the fundamental communication technology between all desktop and system components. Ubuntu Mobile also heavily builds on D-Bus and also uses Upstart as the underlying service manager. Scott -- Have you ever, ever felt like this? Had strange things happen?
