Actually the Nuon had nothing to do with Linux. The idea was to add a special chip to a consumer DVD player to allow it to play interactive content. You buy a special controller that takes the place of the remote and pop in a game disc and off you went. It would have actualyl been a pretty good idea, but the company ran out of money before getting it completely together. They did have interest from electronics companies, though.
