I think, red hat linux is only to be ported on computers(that we are using ). And Embedded linux is ported or used on other devices that are using microcontrollers or other PDAs. Embedded linux tells about itself that embedded with something.. and that something is a device…
Red Hat Linux is an operating system,able to support multitasking and multiprocessing,as normally as Windows o/s. But Embedded o/s meant type of O/s which are desgined for dedicated(specific) task and purpose like o/s(Andoroid) in mobile phone.
Red Hat Linux is a flavor of Linux Operating System like Fedora . The kernel inside these OS is configured according to X86 architecture so it can suitably run on Intel PCs which are base on x86 processors . on the Other hand Embedded Linux is the OS which we Prepare for a specific Hardware . Bootloaders , kernel, root filesystem , GUI all these are configured according to the architecture . Source Code will be same for OS but configuration for Embedded Linux is changed according to the Hardware .
