[Debunking the misconception that Linux is only good for 'cheap' or 'old PCs]
Linux Moves From Grazing to Gorging at the Unix Buffet
,----[ Quote ]
| UNIX is being attacked by Linux from the top and bottom ends of the market.
| The signs are that it is losing the battle on both fronts.
|
| A couple of weeks back I wrote that Linux is becoming increasingly capable of
| doing the less-demanding tasks that UNIX has historically been asked to do,
| so there is less and less need for UNIX. That explains its falling share of
| the server market.
|
| But what about the more demanding tasks? The kinds of tasks that are set by
| industrial facilities, research institutes, universities and meteorological
| forecasting centers. The kind of mind-bogglingly complicated tasks, in fact,
| that require the most powerful supercomputers in the world?

The world's fastest computers are Linux computers
,----[ Quote ]
| Needless to say, all the Linux systems do have working parallel-processing
| languages, like GCC, PGI and PathScale. For now, and the foreseeable future,
| Linux will not only stay the fastest computers, they'll also be the most
| useful fast computers.

Linux shows staying power on Top500
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest list indicates growing Linux dominance. Linux is used in the top
| nine supercomputer systems in the world. When considered as the primary OS or
| part of a mixed-OS supersystem, Linux is now present in 469 of the
| supercomputer sites, 93.8% of the Top500 list.
