Sharp has selected MontaVista Software's version of Linux for its HG-01S home entertainment server, the companies said on Monday.
The device can be used to record TV programs, to store digital images from a camera-equipped mobile phone, to house a web-based photo album and to handle other tasks.
The home entertainment server, code-named Galileo, is already available in Japan for about $850.
The move follows a growing trend towards an all-in-one approach in the consumer electronics and home entertainment sector.
