Why does nothing rhyme with Linux???

Man, What Doesn't Run Linux?


Well, technically Unix, but who cares.
Technologic Systems has come out with a NetBSD Toaster.
From their website:
The toaster on display now in the NetBSD booth at the LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco, is as high-tech as they come. This toaster features a 4 line LCD, USB keyboard, 10/100 ethernet port and a RS232 serial port for the external console. The toaster's internal circuit boards have been bypassed and routed through the CPU board allowing NetBSD complete control over the toaster's features. A keyboard connects through a USB port on the side of the toaster and the 4x40 LCD displays a NetBSD/toaster login prompt. The burner element is also controlled by the TS-7200 via an internal relay. Unlike previous NetBSD toasters which were nothing more than a glorified PC case-mod, this toaster can actually toast bread!
You have to love a computer that can toast bread. Think about it: you're using the computer and don't have to go to the kitchen to make toast!
