The World, Brought to You by Linux

| What do Google (Nasdaq: GOOG), the U.S. Navy 
| submarine fleet, the French Parliament, 
| Virgin America, the Internet Archive and the 
| ASV Roboat all have in common?
| 
| Ha! You guessed it! They all run our favorite 
| operating system. Not only that, but they are 
| all on the "50 Places Linux is Running That 
| You Might Not Expect" list that was published 
| recently by Focus.

How the Internet makes us stupid â or not

| Today, Linux is used in everything from the
| smallest consumer electronics to the largest
| super computers. It helps run Germanyâs air-
| traffic-control systems. It also runs a
| number of nuclear power plants (whose names
| cannot be disclosed for reasons of national
| security). If you drive a BMW, chances are
| it is running Linux. And, at the time of
| writing, more than 500 million users of set-
| top cable boxes, TiVos, Android phones and
| other home appliances use Linux, and more
| than 1.5 billion people use it indirectly
| every day whenever they access Google, Yahoo
| or myriad other websites.
