Linux clusters give Monash Uni a budget supercomputer
,----[ Quote ]
| Low cost, reliable clustering has enabled Monash University to deliver
| supercomputing power to its researchers.

| High Performance Computing Clusters (HPCC), which are virtualised groups of
| Intel-based blade servers running Linux, have enabled the Melbourne-based
| University to maintain a supercomputer with non-specialist staff, according
| to Adrian Ling, Monash's manager of infrastructure and major IT projects.

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.
