Hi All, I think our SIA and Changi Airport uses Linux, in particular Red Hat Linux, rather extensively.
I was visiting the new Terminal 3 the other day while they are still doing the testing and stuff. I saw a few monitors displaying the Red Hat Linux desktop. These monitors are those showing the ads at the luggage belt, and also some other monitors at the check-in counters. Its good to see that Linux is embraced by a large co like SIA.
