I saw this thread on the Magic Lantern forum:

The original post appeared on April Fool's Day but it seems that there might be the possibility to run Linux on the camera. If that is possible (it's beyond my level of knowledge) then would it be possible to run NetBSD or some other BSD on the cameras too? I see that NetBSD seems to run on lots of devices
http://www.ki.nu/~makoto/p15/20150315 so maybe Canon cameras are achievable too. Toasters seem a bit too Red Dwarf to be believable.
As a secondary question most of the relevant cameras have Compact Flash or SD cards formatted to FAT32 or exFAT. Would it be possible to format the cards as ffs or ext2fs or zfs and still get the camera to work either with canon's firmware or with magic lantern's?
