              Yes, they have it on their TVs at least (I own one).

                Yeah, my 32LG7000 runs Linux. It's an awesome set too. I didn't even know it ran Linux till I looked at the back of the manual. I even managed to get my hands on the sources. This is what I found.

                    You shouldn't have told me that. Now I'll have to resist the temptation to brick my TV.
