The Start

5/17/2008 Left Denver after only a few hours of sleep. Made it early to JFK where I enjoyed a couple of 10-dollar a pint Stella's and some fish and chips. My flight to Paris left 30 minutes late. The story behind the delay was quite comical. As we were taxiing, I noticed that the personal in-flight entertainment system was rebooting and that it was a version of Linux. I thought that it was pretty cool, thinking that it was good of Delta for using such an open-source approach. However, before take-off the pilot apologized for the delay and indicated that it was due to a problem with the entertainment system. Ha Ha Ha, I guess the Linux community still has some work to be done.
