The Ethernet Cluster
,----[ Quote ]
| When the first Linux clusters were
| constructed Ethernet was one of the few
| choices for an interconnect. Of course there
| were more expensive and custom ways to
| connect computers, but Ethernet was the first
| network technology supported by Linux.
| Ethernet was also the most ubiquitous
| network, which also made it the cheapest.

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.
