Open Sourcerers go with yucky draws

| What the heck is Kusu? It happens to be the foundation for Platform Open 
| Cluster Stack (OCS), a standardised approach to easily build, manage and use 
| Linux clusters for simplified cluster management, operation and deployment. 
| Platform claims faster time-to-market and cost reduction on in-house 
| engineering resources. And, I assume, Amazon is already an user?

Why is Linux THE FASTEST operating system today?

,----[ Quote ]
| Now that I mentioned supercomputers at the time of this writing the worlds
| fastest supercomputer runs Linux. In fact most of them run Linux as you will
| see here in the list of the top 500 supercomputers. Out of all of the
| operating systems on these supercomputers Linux is a whopping 87.8% with
| windows only (giggle) 1% as can be seen here. The current worlds fastest
| supercomputer runs..... Redhat Linux and Fedora. The exact same ones you can
| download and install on your personal computer.
