[BLUG] Linux in Commercial Aircraft

In line with David's post I was recently on a flight where the aircraft
had touch screens (select movies etc). As we were in the process of
being pushed back from the gate the airline lost what appeared to be all
power (it was certainly not the normal chain of events). When the power
came back on the inflight entertainment system started. In the row in
front I noticed one screen displaying output - looking closer I saw the
typical linux boot up messages! Made me chuckle - I wasn't aware of
this. The airline was Air Canada, eh.
