I wonder what distribution they used.
Distribution? Yitzchak, I am starting to suspect you might be in the software business too...
Quite the opposite. The machines will function forever without need of a reboot, with operating system kernels spewing out inconsequential driver bug messages to system logs by the megabyte-load. And the operators will spend all their waking hours glued to the computers, constantly updating libraries and recompiling test kernels. Just for the hell of it.
Hm... yeah, I guess it's a closer prediction.
They're going to turn the operators into programmers yet. Piloting is no longer enough.
Not a good idea that. That will bring a few days of manic activity followed by two weeks depression in cycles.
