Of the well known operating systems in the world, Linux has had the distinct reputation of being installed almost anywhere there is a processor to be found.
While Canon's digital cameras are not exactly as esoteric as refrigerators and washing machines, getting Linux to run on these more often than not very closed devices can open up a world of possibilities.
Magic Lantern, the team of sleuths and hackers behind this achievement, already made some progress in digging into Canon's EOS line of DSLR cameras, getting access to information about the hardware as well as to some of the very low-level hardware resources of the camera.
The next big step would be to try running a different operating system on the camera, and for that purpose, Linux is the perfect choice.
To be clear, when the team mentions "Linux", they are actually referring to the Linux kernel itself, the very core of the operating system.
Not a full Linux distribution that comes with all the bells and whistles of a graphical operating system.
