Well, pis usually run Linux; there probably are alternatives, but AIUI
the pi is not documented enough for any of them to be much good (which,
if true, also probably means that Linux on a pi depends on binary-blob
drivers and thus is not truly open source - do any of you know the pi
well enough to know whether I'm off base here?).

The V240 is at least capable of running something approaching a real
OS, though, given Sun's penchant for not documenting their hardware
(and I can't believe Oracle didn't continue that tradition), it may
well not be cable of anything even as close as Linux-on-a-pi is to open
source.

How much either of those matters to you, of course, only you can say.
(They sure would matter to me, though, were they my machines.)
