I guess you haven't heard about all the problems Airbus has been having with their various uses of Linux?

That was the cockpit system, no indication it was Linux. The investigation report doesn't even include the word "Linux."

The photo you posted is not related to that incident, and is in fact from the entertainment system of another Airbus model. From the photo, it is not a Linux crash, but an application running on Linux that crashed. Linux is waiting for the program or service to be restarted. I've heard the software behind these systems is pretty slow and buggy.

Damn, you never research, do you?

This deals with one problem in the in-flight entertainment system. Can you detail another problem they're having? Thanks...

BTW, from the FR posting rules:

"Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread."
