A bit newer (2016), but by far not current: https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/13539/which-operating-systems-is-the-international-space-station-running (The nice part about this internet thing is that there are search engines -- no, not Google, use that other one ;-) The answer is, as always, more nuanced. The question "which OS is the ISS running" is so naïve as the question "which kind of cell is your organism made of". Well, duh, many kinds, of course :-) The ISS is up there since 1998. Computers have changed a bit since then. And then, you have life support systems, steering and navigation, tons of scientific instruments and yes, probably entertainment, too.

I could make those suckers tap dance around Windows. Centos 7 went totally off the rails, and here I be. Don't forget...

Wookey If wookeyware has a principal, does that mean that we should call you Headmaster Wookey? :) I noticed the wookey with the helmet in the picture at the top of the web page (I thought Chewbacca had permed hair, which should make putting a helmet on the head, difficult?). Out of interest, does the cave surveying involve one of those laser devices, that scans the cave, leading to a hologram of the caves being created and reproduced? Also, out of interest, with the household rooftop PV system, do you have battery storage, and, have you experimented with the open source software for interfacing with inverters, such as https://github.com/basking-in-the-sun2000/solar-logger https://awesomeopensource.com/projects/inverter/solar (the list of projects, includes two related projects relating to Fronius inverters) https://awesomeopensource.com/projects/inverter/php https://sourceforge.net/projects/fslurp/ -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) ..

I started to compose an email to the list about it, then looked back at the article. It's from 2013. Paul Thence, two questions arise. 1. Due to the effluxion of time, are they still running Debian, or, have they changed the OS? 2. Also, due to the effluxion of time, have they upgraded the OS (if they are still running Debian, have they upgraded to the latest stable version; similarly, if they had changed the OS, have they upgraded to the latest stable version of whatever they are running)? It still may be worth composing the email, and, sending it, putting those two questions... -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) ..
