RE: Funny Story
Well, i have another one related to ISS
Some time ago there was an article over at theregister.co.uk showing a
picture of an astronaut with a portable behind him. The weirdo's over at the
register magnified the screen and there it was c:\> Incredible huh ? First
thought it was a hoax but they had a follow up on the story some time later
reporting the spaceshuttle that was just launched carried a replacement
harddisk for the portable. We might have all been very lucky MIR didn't have
any windows systems on board when it came out of orbit.
Did you know that there are Nuclear Battlecruisers (i'm not a soldier, don't
know the exact name for this type of ship) running on windows NT ? Scary huh
!

I don't know if this story is true or not, but I hope it is. A guy who is
our sys admin said he read on a sys admin type mailing list that the crew
of the International Space Station are having some computer problems just
like a lot us down here on earth. It seems that the U.S. provided
computers running AIX and Win NT. A Win NT computer is being used as an
SMTP server. Apparently the crew are becoming experienced Win NT sys
admins because they are having all kinds of problems with the SMTP server.
The Russians brought computers running Linux. They seem not to be having
SMTP server problems.
As I said, I heard this third hand and have no idea if its true or not.
It was probably started by a bunch of Linux college geeks, I don't know.
Someone from NASA will probably roast me alive...
