Linux has not directly influenced the evolution of computers. The process actually works somewhat in reverse. Computers evolve, and operating systems evolve to better support the hardware.
The possible exception is the LOBOS ("Lots of boxes on shelves") or Beowulf-style cluster, which allows for supercomputer-like performance using standard off-the-rack hardware. The operating system for these is almost invariably a Linux derivative. (the basic theory is: to solve a big problem, we can use a big computer, or we can divide it into chunks and use a lot of little computers).
