London Stock Exchange creates virtual Turquoise access ahead of Linux big-bang

,----[ Quote ]
| An âultra-fastâ link between the datacentres 
| of the London Stock Exchange and Turquoise 
| has gone live, gearing the dark pool trading 
| venue for a big-bang Linux migration.
| 
| Traders with hosted systems at the LSE are 
| now able to access Turquoise on the free fast 
| link, ahead of Turquoiseâs migration to the 
| Millennium Exchange platform, which is Linux 
| and Sun Solaris Unix-based, with Oracle 
| databases. Turquoise currently runs on the 
| Java-based Tradexpress platform from supplier 
| Cinnober.

SGI releases next-gen Altix ICE scale-out supercomputer

,----[ Quote ]
| The supercomputer uses a blade design to 
| scale to up to 65,536 compute nodes, the 
| firm said, while its open x86 architecture 
| makes it relatively easy to deploy 
| commercial, open-source or custom 
| applications on standard Novell SUSE or Red 
| Hat Linux operating systems.

| # smartphones - Android growing fast, that

| # web servers - Apache with GNU/Linux riding
| high
| # high performance computing - GNU/Linux wins
| easily - only 1% use that other OS
| # LAN servers - who knows? Too closely tied to
| that other OS on clients
