[Haifux] [HELP HELP] Uses of Linux in the "real world"

[guy keren]

tivo (the first wide-spread digital video recording appliance) is a 
linux-based machine.

linksys wireless routers are linux-based machines.

google's android operating system is actually based on linux.

many (most?) cable modems and adsl modems run linux as their base 
operating system.

in fact, a lot of embedded products developed in israel (And of-course 
abroad) are based on linux.

google's search appliances and data-centers all run linux - so when you 
search via google, you're using linux
