Hi :) On the space station it's only the laptops that are going to have Gnu&Linux put on them. All the command&control systems are already Gnu&Linux. I was listening to one of the ground-crew giving instructions on what to type in and it was roughly like "ls", "LS, it says ... roger" "cd ..", "cd ..., err nothing happened, roger" "That's ok. it shouldn't have said anything" "[sigh of relief]"
and then a command that my network administrator had emailed to me for me to do on our network!! :))) About 80% desktop machines here have Xp, the other 20% have Win7. All have Ubuntu. So do they count as Window machines or Gnu&Linux when they have both? 2/3 servers have Debian (including the firewall box), 1/3 is Windows Exchange (that's the noisy one that keeps weirding out). The Routers and switches seem to use a Linux. Most hand-helds are Android, couple Blackberry, couple iThings, 1 Windows phone. All counts are unreliable. Most are paid-for research with MS paying the bill. If a machine is bought with Windows on it and the Windows gets wiped and replaced by Gnu&Linux then that gets counted as a Windows machine by pretty much all researchers. Hence Bug1 in Ubuntu.
