A long time ago (sometime around the current month last year), I was talking to some people about how the International Space Station was running on Windows 95 and old versions of Windows NT. Apparently they were later moving to Linux.

Interestingly, NASA also uses Linux - that is, two flavours of Linux: RedHat Enterprise Linux and Fedora.

More after the jump.

Fedora Core

Yup, they’re using Linux. I discovered this page on StumbleUpon.
