Have you driven a BeBox lately? (A bit hypocritical since I haven't either...) Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that bash and many of the GNU utils have been ported. And Be loves developers -- gives them hardware price breaks even. On the other side, the graphical capabilities are reportedly phenomenal.
