Maybe.  Linux has been in space quite a few times, including older versions of 
Debian, Slackware, Flight Linux, and Redhat (RH6.1 was on STS-107).  I 
couldn't find a list of what packages the installations used in these 
missions used, though.

There should be a group at NASA that makes sure to inform each open source 
project that is sent into orbit.  :-)
