Corel Computer Corp. Reveals The Corel Video Network Computer(TM)

"The underpinnings of the network computer are based on Linux, a publically
available operating system developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Based on
the same code as the UNIX operating system, Linux is continually being
improved by developers, administrators and users around the world. A Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) from JavaSoft Corporation will work in conjunction
with the operating system. Java byte code is interpreted and translated
into native Linux instructions via the JVM."

Too bad an engineer never read this PR before it was released! ;o)
