Well, the F5 BigIPs were BSD then Linux. Cisco Nexus switches are also 
running Linux. I think its a done deal. A while back I was looking at 
some big Sun hardware controllers, like the DELL DRAC. It ran Linux.

What bothers me is they are often viewed as "an appliance" and never get 
patched or secured.
