Hello!
Which is what I gathered from the first of the reports on the subject.
They had more problems just getting started, then any of the satellite
programs we or the ESA have been involved with.

It is unfortunate that the outcome was like that. Using any form of
Linux then would have been good publicity for the projects that were
covered by that umbrella of projects.

But at least I can now mark this project "closed", thank you for your
information Hans.
