“Looking through my home for Linux systems I just realized that
it is everywhere. First of all, I find it on my computers – from
servers to laptop. That is the obvious place though. I wonder,
where else can I find Linux running?

“Next, I find it on my set-top-box, a DM500 – a dreambox. The
dreamboxes range from my very basic PAL receiver to devices with
multiple receivers and HD-support. All are based on a Linux system
running on a PowerPC processor.”
