Not sure how much of linux is included in that vtAlpha "bare bones". But
it is quite possible to really have a bare metal linux and this is
commonly done for embedded systems, TVs, thermostats, TV decoders etc.

In fact, when you look at the iphone, it's got BDS Unix under the hood
but no command line utilities (and no command line). When you jailbreak
it, the first thing it does is add the ability to access a command line
and load all the standrad unix commands.
