Nearly 2 years ago Slashdot covered the news that Airbus was to include Linux in every seat. Well, we just found out(the fun way).

All the Virgin planes use Linux for the in-flight entertainment system. I think they use Airbus planes too but I'm not sure.

It reboots <i>in flight</i>?! Good thing it only runs the entertainment system...
