Yeah, it runs linux, which was the first operating system I saw on a
Libretto 2 years ago.  I currently use a linux laptop with an ethernet
card as our sniffer here, but I'd kill for the features of a network
general.  All in all though, you can't beat the price, and anyone handy
with C and/or perl can either wrapper or add functionality to whatever
freely available sniffer source there is out there.

The one I have been looking at is Toshiba's Libretto 50CT. Small,
lightweight, costs about $700, and runs FreeBSD (I am sure linux also),
Win95 etc.  Has a pcmcia slot, so you can get a NIC, and have tcpdump also
:)
