Actually, as I recall, Spirit and Opportunity run on vxworks - which is
a kind of unix but certainly isn't linux. (My other half, who programs
vxworks in another embedded system, commented after the recent flash
error on Spirit that he'd never complain about debugging their system
over ethernet again...)
No arguments about the rest of your post though :-)
