Posted by the Reddit user, inarius to the LinuxActionShow subreddit, this photograph shows Ubuntu running on a Ferrari Showroom Internet Terminal/Kiosk. High performance, just like Ferrari cars! Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxActionShow/comments/rtfj5/ferrari_internet_terminal_runs_linux/ Here’s a quote from someone in the comments section who works as an IT guy for Ferrari and Maserati Austria: I am the IT-Guy,Sysadmin,Programmer all in one kinda deal for Ferrari and Maserati Austria. This is a pic of the “Internet Terminal” we got from Italy for the lounge area of our showroom. At the first bootup i heard a familiar sound … it was the jungle dance startup sound from ubuntu, then a fullscreen browser window appears loading ferrari.com. I pressed ctrl+alt+T on the sketchy keyboard you see in the picture and BOOM .. Terminal. This thing runs Ubuntu 10.04 and autostarts Firefox in fullscreen mode. The Monitor did flicker and the fans fell out of the case because this thing is very “italian” so i had to glue it back together and it works like a charm now and runs ubuntu like a boss. If you want to know any details just ask.

Ubuntu (Presumably 8.10 due to the UI) has been spotted in a McDonalds restaurant, displaying the menus on the LCD screens above the counter. Not sure where it is, but hey, pretty cool! Source: http://www.securitronlinux.com/bejiitaswrath/ubuntu-linux-used-in-mcdonalds-restaurants/ P.S. Sorry for a lack of updates. It’s hard to find these types of images, but I’m always on the look-out!

Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/q2493/look_what_i_found_in_the_arcade/ Found in his local arcade, Reddit user ‘otakuman’ found a cabinet arcade game for ‘Tux Racer’, a fun free open-source game. Apparently there’s also one in DisneyLand Paris. According to Reddit user ‘GameTechGuy’ in the comments, There are 2 Tux arcade games. This is the first one, and there were 2 versions: One with the “flipper” button controls and another with steering controls (like a driving game). There are many other arcade games that run Linux nowadays, primarily to avoid paying per unit OS licensing costs. A very interesting find. Also, click here to download and play TuxRacer on your Linux, Window or Mac!

For non-brits, Argos is a store where you can search through a massive catalogue, find the product you want which is referenced by a number, order it at the cashier and get given a number, sit down and wait for your number to be chosen by the automated computer system and collect your gifts. They also have an online store. These kiosks are touch-screen and used to search through the catalogue, saving paper (and time)!

Debian on the Toronto Subway System

Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/hvgt2/debian_on_the_ttc_toronto_subway/

Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxActionShow/comments/mk6hm/rus_linux_the_ttctoronto_transit_commission_runs/

A submission to the /r/linux Subreddit 8 months ago by an Anonymous user (They have deleted their account since) shows the Debian Linux operating system being used for the Toronto Subway System in Canada. It looks to be the KDE version of Debian.

The other image is a submission by the Reddit user, ‘aagavin’, probably originating from Twitter due to the use of TwitPic. The image shows the X-Server failing, obviously a problem caused by the admins and not the OS! It seems GNU/Linux is used a lot for digital signage, and why shouldn’t it be?
