3D Avatar - Linux Supercomputer - Of Course

,----[ Quote ]
| Having read about the super-computing power 
| required to make the 3D film "Avatar", and 
| that the O/S on that system was of course 
| Linux, I went to see it. Well, to be 
| honest, I was going to see it anyway with 
| my wife and granddaughter. On a previous 
| blog someone asked whether GNU/Linux gets 
| any mention in the credits.

| In addition, IBM is trying to get customers 
| to use mainframes for more functions. For 
| some years it has offered specialised add-
| on processors at considerably lower prices, 
| to run a greater variety of programs, 
| mostly based on Linux, an open-source 
| operating system. And last year IBM started 
| bundling mainframes with applications at a 
| discount.

Ballmer Still Searching for an Answer to Google

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
