New Aussie Supercomputer Runs Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| The fact that a new supercomputer runs Linux 
| should hardly come as a surprise to anyone.  
| What else would it run? W7? ROFL.  Well, if it 
| did run W7 Iâm pretty sure someone would have 
| been all over the reporters for the Sydney 
| Morning Herald making sure that they mentioned 
| it in their article âAustraliaâs new 
| supercomputer outflops the lotâ.  However, 
| since it isnât, the reporter had a discretion 
| on what to report, and they didnât mention 
| what operating system it ran.   I had to look 
| the thing up on Wikipedia, where it told me 
| that it runs Linux â Centos actually.

| 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.
