Planes and Linux

Hello again to the first blog of the year!!! Has it been that long? Yes it has as an annonymous person has pointed out to me!

Well the last three months have been crazy!! Lots of flying and fending for myself! But yes going back to the subject. I was flying recently to india on Jet Airways. This has to be the best airline in the world on par with Emirates! I was sitting there looking forward to a well deserved holiday / break when the last thing I wanted to see appeared before my eyes! I was looking at the In Flight Entertainment screen and to my horror saw it being rebooted. In Linux!!!! Nothing wrong with either but it just brought back memories of sitting in front of a screen at 3 in the morning trying to fix something in Linux which just would fix itself. I wonder if the next time I fly I will here do we have a Linux expert on board as opposed to is there a doctor on the plane! Although I have heard that on a previous flight already!!!!
