Yeah, it runs linux, which was the first operating system I saw on a
Libretto 2 years ago. I currently use a linux laptop with an ethernet
card as our sniffer here, but I'd kill for the features of a network
general. All in all though, you can't beat the price, and anyone handy
with C and/or perl can either wrapper or add functionality to whatever
freely available sniffer source there is out there.
