   Ahh, but I forgot to mention - I flew last week to Florida via Song by   
   Delta. In each seatback they have an LCD with Dish Network satellite   
   as well as a trivia game and music stations. They had to reboot once.   
   It was Linux! I was shocked to see Tux there - I think they were using   
   RedHat, but my memory falters.
