ISS to adopt Linux as its new primary OS

Or more specifically, Debian 6. NASA claims that windows is simply too unreliable to operate on the ISS. Ouch.

“Back in 2008, a Russian cosmonaut managed to take a laptop to the ISS that spread the W32.Gammima.AG worm to all the other laptops aboard the station. Using Linux should make that impossible,” Condliffe said.

How absurd.
