LinuxDevices.com is proud to present this fascinating interview with Glenn Henry, founder of VIA processor subsidiary Centaur Technology, and former Dell CTO and IBM Fellow. Henry discusses the founding of Centaur, its strategy and products, and why Linux is fundamental to his company's success.

Additional topics covered include:

• How to produce an x86 clone with a few million dollars and a few dozen engineers
• The embedded x86 market, and how it compares to the traditional ARM and MIPS based embedded market
• Why Centaur doesn't compete with AMD and Intel so much as enable x86 to reach new markets
• How Linux is enabling greater hardware functionality
• The urgent need for pervasive security
• . . . and much more!

Mr. Henry agreed to this interview after meeting our Executive Editor Rick Lehrbaum at the recent Embedded Processor Forum in San Jose, Calif. This is the ninth in LinuxDevices.com's ongoing series of interviews with executives influential in the embedded Linux market.
