Who cares, since the original lies were it was all Microsoft stuff crashing.
And the original article on the other thread had nothing to do with Linux crashing either, but rather a glitch with the power that ran the planes systems (you're welcome to go back and read the PDF report that I posted earlier about this). But you had to paint that picture for us, implying that particular crash was the fault of Linux, complete with the picture of a Linux boot screen from a totally unrelated system on a different plane.
As for the in-flight entertainment system, if you'd give me any seven year old operating system and leave me to cobble some nonstandard apps on top of it, I could make it crash handily, whether Windows or Linux.
But, then, as you said, who cares, especially when it comes to facts?
