Embedded Linux?

Hi list,

I'm a newbie, true to its every sense, and hence this question.

I have come across the term "Embedded Linux" a lot of times. Is
embedded linux a different branch of kernel all together? Or is it
that the vanila stock kernel (downloaded from kernel.org) becomes
"Embedded Linux" when compiled for an embedded processor like ARM /
PPC etc?

Thanks,

Dan
