Your understanding is probably wrong. At least someone has documented as having used it there. I would be surprised of no one else is using it. The Linux counter says that 3 of the 4,115 population is using it. For historical use see: http://www.geosc.psu.edu/~sak/Anubis/index.html Some interesting statements from the website: Btw, Anubis = Antarctic Network of Unattended Broadband Seismometers "I use the GNU/Linux OS for the embedded computer in each Anubis station. I use GNU/Linux in the field-laptops that are used for installation and monitoring of the Anubis stations." "... the fact that the Linux logo is a penguin was the clincher for this Antarctic project." "For what it is worth, the source code for Anubis software, the schematics and PCB layouts for the power system, and the specifications for the hardware are all freely available under the GPL." -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
