As an OS?  Raspbian, mostly - its Debian Linux Stable (Wheezy) ported to 
the MPU chip, which contains both an ARM core and a GPU with 512MB RAM 
piggy-backed onto it. 

The only real oddity is the boot system, which is two stage: the GPU 
loads and runs the phase 1 bootstrap from a FAT partition and this loads 
Raspbian into the ARM mpu from the main ext3 partition. Apparently that's 
the easiest way to boot anything on that chip. AFAIK all OSes (RISCOS and 
Fedora for sure - there may be others) that have been ported to the RPi 
use this boot system.  Both partitions are on the SD card the RPi uses as 
mass storage.
