Finnair linux

So apparently Finnair uses Redhat linux to power its entertainment system. This was both amusing in a nerdy kind of way and infuriating as heck when you want to get your quick fix of movie watching. Thankfully Marte had provided me with some movies to watch on my phone before leaving 🙂
