CERN cranks up its LHC network
,----[ Quote ]
| According to HPCWIRE, the LHC doomsday
| device's network has linked mass data storage
| sites, such as the Ohio Supercomputer Centre
| and more than 1,000 international physicists,
| engineers and technicians.
|
| Apparently the LHC detectors spew out 1.25GB
| of data per second. That's about six times
| the contents of Encyclopedia Britannica
| including the index every second.

CloudLinux: Catching On With Hosting Partners?
,----[ Quote ]
| First, the hard news: Canadian Web Hosting,
| in business since 1998, has embraced
| CloudLinux as one of the hosting companyâs
| standard Linux platform offerings. The reason
| apparently involves Cloud Linux Inc.âs
| Lightweight Virtual Environment (LVE)
| technology.
|
| [...]
|
| Can CloudLinux carve out its own niche among
| hosting providers? Canadian Web Hosting sure
| seems to think so.

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.
