Cisco $15,000 'blade' is really a PC (Inquirer)
The Inquirer talks with
an engineer who opened up the Cisco "Network Access Module" for its
6500 switch. "The card, he claims, is running a Linux kernel and has
a number of GPL tools included such as syslogd klogd crond mingetty
agetty ps & top. 'If you have access to CCO and download updated
software for the NAM you find that it is basically a gziped disk image of
a Linux System complete with Lilo and a number of FSF foundation
utilities (strings imagefile | grep Foundation)'."
