Now Everything Truly Runs Linux
Ok - that post title might be a slight exaggeration because the object in question is technically running NetBSD not Linux, but still - some creative *NIX geeks at Technologic Systems have designed the first NetBSD powered toaster. The toaster; which is on display now in the NetBSD booth at LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco; features a 4 line LCD, USB keyboard, 10/100 ethernet port and a RS232 serial port for the external console. Not only does the NetBSD toaster feature the ability to run embedded applications but it can actually toast bread while it’s at it. No longer will geeks be longing for a way to program and make toast at the same time with this truly Jetsons-like convergence device.
