,----[ Quote ]
| NYSE Euronext and its family of exchanges which include the NYSE, Euronext,
| Liffe, Alternext and NYSE Arca Options, operating in the US and Europe, now
| run on Red Hat Linux and look to Red Hat for support and services. Put it
| another way, over 4000 public companies and over $141 billion in daily stock
| transactions depend on Linux. The Chicago Mercantile exchange at last count
| traded 1.403 Billion contracts valued at $827 trillion annually.
