i need to know why Linux is the operating system of choice for so many electronic gadgets?
Answer
DavoJo has a good answer, but I'm going to go a little further and mention that embedded developers have the freedom to easily compile in only the features they need, which results is a fast-booting, bloat-free, lean operating system that is still as feature-rich as they desire.
Adding drivers for specialized hardware is easier than with other systems (Greg Kroah-Hartman and his team of volunteers will even write the drivers for you if you just provide specs), so hardware compatibility is a non-issue. With the abundance of Unix and portable C software available, software compatibility is also good.
Finally, Linux is free and easy to license, as long as you don't blatantly violate the GPL. (As of now, Linux is still licensed under version 2 of the GPL, so you still have a good number of options as far as how you use it and what you use it with.)

How to identify the types of screwdrivers?
justintime
Hello. I am in need of a 00 Philips Screwdriver, a 1 Philips Screwdriver, and a regular screw driver of any size. Does anyone know how to identify types of screwdrivers? I have really never used one in my life, so I do not know how to recognize the sizes. Do they tell you on the handles?
Answer
Hello Justin; So, you're going to take your PS apart? First, A Phillips Screw has two intersecting slots. @ + . In its head. A Phillips Screwdriver with a corresponding tip (business end) will fit into that +. Of course, the bigger the screw, the bigger the screwdriver. A regular screw has a - slot in its head and a regular screwdriver will fit it. Again, the bigger the slot, the bigger the screwdriver. A 00 Phillips Screwdriver means the tip is very small in order to fit the tiny screws+
Or, take what you're going to take apart (PS) with you to a hardware store. Tell the kindly clerk what you need to do and ask what you need to do it with. Show the clerk the screws. Make sure the handle of the screwdriver (Phillips) has a plastic handle. The inside of an electronic gadget is very sensitive to electrostatic. (A very, very tiny spark you can't see it.). Also, Use a container with an edge to hold your tiny parts (screws) in one place. Work on a desk or table. It's very hard to find tiny screws in a rug or carpet. Good luck :))
