Default Spot the Penguin - Linux Outside the Box

I don't know about anyone else, but i'm consitently imrpessed about just how many things you can get Linux to run on these days...

Handheld games devices
Mobile Phones
iPods

Anyone else found any more ports that see everyones favorite penguin on an even more weird/impressive device?

I've seen linux on Pocket PCs before, but an iPod? Do you mean Linux compatible, or runs Linux?

A specialist distro of actual Linux...

http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunalty it can't play mp3's at a perfect quality yet, so it's only hard-core Linux junkie material at the moment, but they keep making decent advancements.

I didn't realise this was possible!!!! I'll have to read up one this now!

I have seen it running on a very large watch before, 6x6cm easily.

Cool Penguin,Tux, and other stuff

You guys rock, How so many can stay this up to date,
Is beyond me…..Most of you know that Motorola just announced Linux embedded
for their phones….. Below is a great site on Penguin planting.
http://tuxmobil.org/

On the dark side,… It is said that Lucy has installed Linux on a dead badger
