| Linux, specifically Redhat Linux, has
| proven itself fit for the tasks it is
| called upon to perform.

Air Force may suffer collateral damage from PS3 firmware update
,----[ Quote ]
| When Sony issued a recent PlayStation 3
| update removing the device's ability to
| install alternate operating systems like
| Linux, it did so to protect copyrighted
| contentâbut several research projects
| suffered collateral damage.
|
| The Air Force is one example. The Air
| Force Research Laboratory in Rome, New
| York picked up 336 PS3 systems in 2009 and
| built itself a 53 teraFLOP processing
| cluster. Once completed as a proof of
| concept, Air Force researchers then scaled
| up by a factor of six and went in search
| of 2,200 more consoles (later scaled back
| to 1,700). The $663,000 contract was
| awarded on January 6, 2010, to a small
| company called Fixstars that could provide
| 1,700 160GB PS3 systems to the government.
