But it's not actually Linux that's managing or controlling the ship. It's Linux that's managing or controlling the software that's actually managing or controlling the ship.
I mean, if we're getting into a semantic argument.
- anigbrowl 13y agoUltimately, ship is being managed/controlled by humans, for the time being. But I take your point, this is why I mentioned 'via Linux'.
- lelandbatey 13y agoYes, we can only really accurately say: "Linux is playing a role of some significance in the latest ship for the US Navy."
- tantaman 13y agoThat and Linux has actually been used by the US Navy for over a decade now. I guess "The Navy's Still Using Linux" isn't quite as catchy a title.
- vacri 13y agoYou could also argue the semantics that the ship is powered by its sailors. Without them, it's not going to go anywhere; it's their actions that are the root cause of moving the thing.
- Kiro 13y agoSo what OS is the software that is controlling the ship?
