[Eug-lug] Linux TV

[Michael Miller]

Bob,

I'm not really surprised by this.  I was helping some one hook up
there new Sony TV last night as well.  I showed him the service door.
The person I was helping out asked me what that was for and I
explained to him his T.V. had firmware that Sony may upgrade if there
is ever a problem with software on the T.V.  I have also seen the
Linux Kernel boot up on Cisco Wireless controllers ( aka Airspace
802.11 a/b/g ) Brocade 32 port Fibre Channel switches and other
devices.  I even have a I-Opener that was running QNX at one point in
it's life time.  There are other devices that run Linux or some other
Unix like OS.  See http://www.gpl-violations.org/ so you don't give
money to the wrong people.  You can avoid non-compliant company's this
way as well.
