Here’s a picture of I took on my recent flight on Delta from Atlanta to Dubai. The inflight entertainment system, the little screen mounted on the back of each seat, was running Linux. It froze and rebooted by itself twice during the 15 hour flight.
So much for stability.
PowerShell goes beyond Windows.
PASH is the open source re-implementation of PowerShell for non-Windows operating systems like Solaris, Linux, Mac, etc and even Windows Mobile.
According to the site:
The main goal is to provide a rich shell environment for other operating systems as well as to provide a hostable scripting engine for rich applications. The user experience should be seamless for people who are used to Windows version of PowerShell. The scrips, cmdlets and providers should runs AS-IS (if they are not using Windows-specific functionality). The rich applications that host PowerShell should run on any other operating system AS-IS. Secondary goal: the scripts should run across the machines and different OS’s seamlessly.
Check out PASH at Sourceforge.
