Linux on boardWhile boarding the plane during my last trip to Algeria and Morocco, I noticed the display screen loading the Linux operating System.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that, considering my IT background and all. I felt a little bit safer knowing the airplane was not powered by Windows. Imagine the operating system crashing in the middle of the flight. Scary!

  • You know what, on a flight from ISB to KHI couple of months ago, the in-flight system OS actually crashed on me while I was playing a game. and Yes it was running Linux too! So much for reliability.
