Linux inside

Some of the strangest places we can find Linux running.

1. VW Production plants: Assembly robots are running Linux


2. Motorola cell phones: Apparently all motorola phones run Linux. I didn’t know that!


3. Sail boats: Some fancy sailboats are controlled with embedded Linux systems.


4. Cars: Many cars run Linux now and when customers demanded iPod support in their car, Linux made a huge surge forward as manufacturers raced to provide this new feature.
