Slim?

There's an Embedded Ubuntu project here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmbeddedUbuntu
But as far as I know it's in in infancy and a brand new effort (Or, at
least, I just recently heard of it)

Other then that, the only major linux on embedded devices I know of is at
handhelds.org.

And it's an entirely closed platform, in the name of "stability."  A
UNIX-based OS that won't even run a 3rd party "hello world" app, much less
an SSH daemon/client.  That ticks me off (I blogged plenty about it tonight:
http://sigmax.no-ip.org/blog.php).

It's enough to make me ashamed of owning a MacBook.  If only the GPLv3 had
come along sooner... they might have been forced to open it up ;-).
