They've done that and they're doing it further, for more types of devices. I know that the recent Smart TVs are running Linux -- there are even some exploits known for them. They announced cameras running Linux last November. As far as I can tell, the only reasons you wouldn't run Linux are if your device has less than 4 MB of RAM or if your letterhead says "Microsoft" or "Apple". To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if that Smart TV giving you problems turned out to be running Linux too. The entire industry was switching to Linux back in 2010 already. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
