-An unexpected computer placed on a big set of tape drives. Normally, this computer controls the little cards that manage the tape drive, but it can be easily netbooted off to run some other OS, such as Debian. Also runs Doom, of course; this is what the links are demonstrating.
+An unexpected computer placed on a big set of tape drives. Normally, this computer controls the little cards that manage the tape drive, but it can be easily netbooted off to run some other OS, such as Debian. Also runs Doom, of course; this is what the links are demonstrating. Outside of that, the presence of a relatively full Linux distro means the onboard computer could very well function as a typical PC, outside of it's peculiar placement.
