So is Virgin Atlantic from what I recall they developed the app. in house. Unfortunately, don't have the link to the article. Biz are realizing the cost of software. For a similar app. on Windows CE (or whatever it is called now), the airline would have to pay lic. per passenger seat plus for the server. The Linux solution: development cost (once), software deployment cost (lic.) to all their aircrafts close to $0. -- Arun Khan -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
