Hello! Also HDTV sets. Especially those so-called Smart TV ones. At one point they even made the code available. Before we get into name calling on the behalf of a very busy penguin, let's just state it right now, Slackware is the oldest of the distributions, because it is still out there. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Thats cool, I didn't know that.
Linux can be found in a lot of places. I can't recall what odd device I saw it in. I know some railroad equipment is using Linux (multiple different processors with tie breaking).
While I was talking about BSD (NetBSD in particular) above, this is very true. Nearly all "home" routers run Linux, hospital ventilators and patient monitoring equipment, oscilloscopes, effectively all mobile phones except for iPhones, recent refrigerators and washing machines...you name it. My previous desktop monitor, a 4K Seiki SE39UY04, runs Linux internally on a MIPS processor. Yes, the *monitor*.
Linux is *everywhere*. I'm willing to bet that everyone on this list, literally every person, has half a dozen instances of Linux in their houses right now that they don't even know about.
