If you did some considerable mods to the controller, then yes you could possibly run a TINY TINY embedded Linux (like the one from Japan that's the most popular OS on Earth). It wouldn't be anything that would do anything special that you couldn't use the PIC programming for, but it would be novel. You'd need to add some external EPROM and a few other things. I don't see it being possible (because of the way the board is made) but if your team has an extra controller for some reason then it might be something you could try...?

The reason I say this is even possible is that these processors are based on the RISC architecture...but I'm not sure if 10MIPS is enough to handle even the teeny embedded Linux.
