I read the article, not paying attention to the date, and was aghast
that it said they were running Debian 6. I started to compose an email
to the list about it, then looked back at the article. It's from 2013.

Thence, two questions arise.

1. Due to the effluxion of time, are they still running Debian, or, have 
they changed the OS?

2. Also, due to the effluxion of time, have they upgraded the OS (if 
they are still running Debian, have they upgraded to the latest stable 
version; similarly, if they had changed the OS, have they upgraded to 
the latest stable version of whatever they are running)?

It still may be worth composing the email, and, sending it, putting 
those two questions...

If wookeyware has a principal, does that mean that we should call you 
Headmaster Wookey?
:)

I noticed the wookey with the helmet in the picture at the top of the 
web page (I thought Chewbacca had permed hair, which should make putting 
a helmet on the head, difficult?).

Out of interest, does the cave surveying involve one of those laser 
devices, that scans the cave, leading to a hologram of the caves being 
created and reproduced?

Also, out of interest, with the household rooftop PV system, do you have 
battery storage, and, have you experimented with the open source 
software for interfacing with inverters, such as
https://github.com/basking-in-the-sun2000/solar-logger
https://awesomeopensource.com/projects/inverter/solar (the list of 
projects, includes two related projects relating to Fronius inverters)
https://awesomeopensource.com/projects/inverter/php
https://sourceforge.net/projects/fslurp/

A bit newer (2016), but by far not current:

  https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/13539/which-operating-systems-is-the-international-space-station-running

(The nice part about this internet thing is that there are search
engines -- no, not Google, use that other one ;-)

The answer is, as always, more nuanced. The question "which OS is the
ISS running" is so naïve as the question "which kind of cell is your
organism made of". Well, duh, many kinds, of course :-)

The ISS is up there since 1998. Computers have changed a bit since
then. And then, you have life support systems, steering and navigation,
tons of scientific instruments and yes, probably entertainment, too.

Cheers

It IS noice. I know change is inevitable, yada, yada... I ran Centos 5
and 6 for around 10 years and thought I had found the One. I could make
those suckers tap dance around Windows. Centos 7 went totally off the
rails, and here I be.

Don't forget...
