Very heartening to read that. Linux has really come a long way.
On a somewhat related note, I was reading this Sunday's edition of the Times of India and came across a full-page HP advertisement which stated that HP, in association with BMW McLaren develop and test their F1 engines using "Linux based supercomputers".

Also this is a good news since Indian Army is generally on Shoe String budgets. So low cost systems are best suited for it.
