No, the WikiReader doesn't run on Linux. It's a tiny embedded micro that doesn't really have any operating system -- just a little flash file system and a couple of small drivers for the LCD screeen, touch screen, etc. Also, as my article notes, it's not "developed in Forth" (the main wiki app is in C), but it has a Forth compiler on it for hardware testing and small apps. Note that the point of my article wasn't to link to the WikiReader (that would be blog spam), but to show how and why the WikiReader uses Forth for testing and apps.
