Uh, no, the krups runs linux just fine. (Well, it would if I patched my
DHCP server to accept the invalid packets... and got a bigger desk)

As for the Sun Rays, I was under the impression that they didn't run *any*
user code, except for signed flash updates.

Say, just out of curiosity, has anyone tried just *asking* sun for the DSA
keys? Sure, it's not as 'l33t' as hax0ring the hardware, but it might just
get the job done. ;)
