I'm trying to find out what this is as I'm dying to set up something similar myself, here's one message I posted for help on digitalspy.co.uk:



I recently flew Continental over from the US to the UK and got a business class seat as the flight was overbooked, and the guy in the seat next to me had a problem with his personal inflight entertainment system. The attendant reset his system and lo and behold, the Penguin logo and all the boot info scrolled on his screen. Unfortunately I wasn't brave enough to grab his screen to see what Linux distribution this was based on, and I couldn't figure out what it or the video/menu application was on my own system (damn! I should have asked the attendant to reboot *mine* as well!!!) but as it's utterly more cool than my poor setup at home I'd be *extremely* interested in knowing if anyone knows what Linux distribution and application Continental (and probably other airlines) use for their inflight touch-screen entertainment systems.
