1. The advantage is that if you're developing a system with many devices you can benefit from the Linux OS to handle different devices using drivers, using OS scheduling, API's, networking services such as embedded servers (http, ftp,smtp), and so on, because Linux is free/open source and there are many of these software that you can use for your project.

2. Embedded linux is not RTOS, if you want RTOS you can use other like QNX OS.

3. There are many brands like Nokia and Motorola, that are succesfully using embedded linux for their devices. for more information you can check this:
