[Sheflug] International Space Station Migrates to GNU/Linux

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

It's finally happened.  Originally I thought the ISS was going to be 
run completely on GNU/Linux.  But, it turns out that it's survived on 
winduhs XtraPants until now...

â We migrated key functions from Windows to Linux because we needed an 
operating system that was stable and reliable â one that would give us 
in-house control. So if we needed to patch, adjust or adapt, we could. 
With the transition to Linux looming, Chuvala turned to the Linux 
Foundationâs Linux training program for help. "
