Oh boy, you really can install Linux anywhere. I just installed Linux on the patient's pacemaker, during the operation. They have no idea! SSH works, getting Apache on there now.

@RomulusCornflakes no frigging way wouldn't that need wifi or a cable out to ssh? And that same pace maker supposed to run for decades on the same battery?

Same.

Uses bluetooth.

Pacemakers can in fact be wirelessly communicated to for diagnostic purposes, and likely do have some type of onboard monitoring system that maybe has a conventional OS. Doubt you could get a normal linux install onto it though, and definitely not an apache server.
