Ummm, BSD runs on pretty much anything. It's already used in a lot of embedded products. Our office copier's software uses NetBSD as the base OS.

If Linux's mindshare takes a hit, its BSD that will benefit most, again, because of it's very very liberal license.

I use FreeBSD some myself on desktops, but Sun is already seeing a resurgence and now even HP and IBM are selling servers with Solaris on there, while no major hardware company other than Apple is currently shipping pure BSD. At least none that I know of, so it would have a long way to go to catch up with Solaris.
