Re: [BLUG] Linux in Commercial Aircraft

In the college mall in Bloomington, one of the photo booths had crashed one time .... it was a GTK error in GIMP. Looked to be running in KNOPPIX. My wife had no idea what I was so excited about ...

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.
