The other weekend I flew back from Las Vegas to San Francisco on Virgin America, there has been no end of hype about their new planes and the software so I was interested to what it was all about. It all runs on a linux box hidden in the belly of the plane, I know this to be true because I got to watch it boot on my screen while we were backing away from the gate- that didn't feel right somehow. They call it "Red(beta):An interactive environment" and invite you to touch anywhere to begin; an offer I couldn't refuse.
