We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered (by snooping on its firmware files) that the Pontis MX2020 multimedia device that Geeks.com sent us for a review actually uses Linux (embedded distribution uCLinux, kernel 2.4.19). If it's video, audio, pictures, recording or even basic PDA functionality via its touch screen, the Pontis MX2020 can do it all. And for very cheap too.

According to the product description on the Pontis website, Linux is one of the supported operating systems. You can check it out here:
http://www.pontis.de/site_e/produkte/pl_2020_e.htm and then click on the 'technical specifications'.
I'm assuming you'll just mount it like an external hard drive, and you probably won't get to use the shrink wrapped software that comes with it.
