Keep in mind that Linux now powers hundreds of millions of devices,
many selling for under $100 each. Embedded Linux systems include TiVo.
In addition most routers, most WiFi hubs, most SAN storage devices,
most NAS storage devices produced under the LinkSys, D-Link, NetGear,
and Belkin. Some DSL modems and Cable modems also use Linux and/or OSS
software.
