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.

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.
