| Each node runs Cray's version of the SuSE Linux operating system, and Cray 
| has tuned the Linux kernel so that it removes unnecessary services from the 
| compute nodes. This means that the operating system minimizes interruptions 
| to the application codes running on the system. The SuSE Linux operating 
| system on the nodes combines with the system services, networking software, 
| communications, I/O and mathematical libraries, as well as compilers, 
| debuggers and performance tools to form the Cray Linux Environment.

Linux still super in Top500

,----[ Quote ]
| In the June 2008 Top500 list, Linux still lives large with a role in 92% of
| systems (It is the only OS for 85.4%, but when considering all distributions
| (SUSE, Red Hat, CentOS, and general ‘Linux,’ as well as mixed uses that
| include Linux, I figure the share is more like the 92%).
