Linux in Real Life - Uses Around the World
,----[ Quote ]
| Both companies are largely (or in the case of
| Amazon - almost entirely) powered by Linux. In
| addition to these, it relatively safe to say
| around half the internet runs on Linux powered
| Apache servers.
|
| I think I've covered just about everyone who
| uses technology at this point in some form or
| another. Does anyone still think you haven't
| uses something Linux powered at least once in
| your life? No? Good. :)
|
| Does anyone else know of some other common
| places Linux is used by the masses or another
| large retailer/company that is Linux powered
| that I missed?

39,000-Core Ubuntu Server Cluster Renders Blockbuster Movies
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Paul, Ubuntu is at the core of
| all of this, running on all of the rendering
| nodes, and 90% of the desktops at Weta
| Digital. He notes that his cluster is in fact
| an Ubuntu Server cluster, and not RHEL as he
| has seen reported in the media.

Something Seriously Missing In Avatar Movie Reviews
,----[ Quote ]
| Where are the accolades for Linux?
|
| A review of the company that made the Linux
| computer graphics happen, known as WETA
| Digital (Wellington, New Zealand, a Peter
| Jackson spin off company), is notoriously
| absent from the articles.
|
| The underlying operating system, Linux RHEL
| (hundreds of HP blade servers running as Linux
| cluster) is also utterly absent from even the
| more technical news sources.
