Virgin have been using it for years - I've seen the entire system reboot at
least 3 or 4 times, seen Tux pop up on every screen on the aeroplane. I've
also seen it *fail* to boot, and leave the system showing the end of the
'bash +x' script used to boot - quite interesting :-)

Cheers

keep an eye out for penguins)
