[Sussex] McLinux

[Mike Diack]

Hi Geoff.

I know that, but everyone in the (Western at least!) world knows/has some 
dealing with McDonalds....
I'm trying to push our office to start using Embedded Linux in some of our 
eng projects (we're already using it on some of our servers),
so I'm aware of the big desktop push - I'm part of it! Our boss is still 
laughably insistant we can do realtime and reliable mission critical
stuff on Windows....

Mike
