Hulleye Comes By!

/. claims that Singapore Airlines will be rolling out the A380 superjumbo on October 26th, and a surprise awaits in the seat of every passenger: their personal Linux PC, running Red Hat. In addition to running the in-flight entertainment, passengers can also use a full copy of StarOffice, and there’s a USB slot for importing/exporting documents or plugging in your own keyboard/mouse. Screen size is 10.6″ (1280×768) in economy, 15.4″ in business and a whopping 23″ in first class (along with free noise-canceling headphones). The system is already available on current B777-300ER planes and will also be outfitted on the upcoming B787 Dreamliners.

I love Singapore Airlines and I’ve travelled on it quite a bit. I have always considered it one of the best airlines I’ve ever flown with. Glad to see they’re making even more upgrades.
