It's even better than you found (in the Linux respect)!  It seems to 
already have Linux on it, and it's software provides access to the Linux 
command-prompt, including providing user access to writing and 
installing original Linux-based software.

For:
"This NPU is a 400 Mhz Network Processing Unit: Runs a highly optimized 
version of embedded Linux. 64MB DDR memory works in conjunction with the 
NPU to support the network offload functionality as well as the Flexible 
Network Architecture. Flexible Network Architecture (FNA) exposes the 
underlying Linux Operating System running on the Killer to the user. The 
KillerNIC ships with the ability for a user to get to the Linux command 
prompt. FNA allows users to write Applications themselves or download 
them from KillerNIC.com that will runner on the cards NPU."
