Well, according to some new information, it seems that the article I based my previous post on (2 posts up) was incorrect (and thus I was partly wrong as well).
According to a review at benews.com, the iToaster will contain a proprietary OS. They have obtained this information from Microworkz.com (Microworks being the maker of the iToaster). Whether it is completely true that the iToaster is running a propriety OS, I can't say for sure, although a lot of information on various sites points to "some type" of proprietary OS. You can read more about it as well as view some pictures of the iToaster at: http://www.benews.com/img/incoming/169.gif
According to the Maximum PC Network, the iToaster will contain the BeOS and not the Linux Operating System. http://www.ars-technica.com/wankerdesk/2q99/pcex po-1.html
"Built on the BeOS r4.5 (Linux is not involved, despite what other reports have said), but highly different in appearance, the iToaster is a little black PC that lacks either a floppy or a CD-ROM."
