Spot the Penguin - Linux Outside the Box

Matt Jason H · Jun 15, 2004

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...

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