Supercomputers love Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Everybody knows Linux as an open-source operating
| system - available today for many different
| hardware architectures - which has become the de
| facto alternative to the Redmondâs product,
| especially in the servers segment. Linux versus
| Windows, Windows versus Linux: this diatribe on
| which of the two is the best solution has been
| literally filling most of the computer forums and
| computer magazines. We are not going to add some
| fire on that already âhotâ discussion, but rather
| analyze some real facts and take the appropriate
| conclusions.

| Linux 443 88.60 %
| Windows 5 1.00 %
| Unix 22 4.40 %
| BSD based 1 0.20 %
| Mixed 29 5.80 %
| Totals 500 100.00 %

ClusterVision Spins Off Cluster Management Software Company
,----[ Quote ]
| ClusterVision is a Linux cluster integrator that
| builds commodity HPC systems for the European
| market (more broadly, the entire EMEA region). The
| company uses hardware from a variety of
| manufacturers -- white-box manufacturers, but also
| IBM and Dell -- and packages the clusters with its
| home-grown Linux-based ClusterVisionOS and
| software stack. As of this week, though,
| ClusterVisionOS is replaced by Bright Cluster
| Manager, which makes ClusterVision just another
| reseller of the software.

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.
