[oclug] Linux in vehicles (was off-topic rants about cars)

[Jon Earle]

My laptop (oh... I forgot, I installed Win2K on it last night in a fit of
rage since the PCMCIA subsystem decided that "resources were temporarily
unavailable".  This, a system that has worked fine for nearly two years,
suddenly throws a fit.  Win2K runs without a hitch BTW.) sometimes rides
in my car. :)

What would one _do_ with a Linux PC in the car? MP3 playing aside.
