Augusto writes "Just 10 days ago, 130M Brazilian voters were turned
into users of one of the largest Linux deployments worldwide: the
400,000 electoral sections in all of the 5,563 Brazilian municipalities
were running electronic voting machines, and the Linux kernel was
running in all of them. These voting machines have been used in Brazil
since 1996, and are rugged, self-contained, low-spec PCs. We've
discussed the technical details of this Linux deployment and
implementation elsewhere, but I thought it would be interesting to show
some pictures (and a movie) of Linux booting on these voting machines.
So I asked for official permission and thus was helped by a technician
while I took some quick pictures and made a small movie showing the
boot process, where you can actually read the kernel messages."
