Super Computers â All You Probably Didnât Want To Know
,----[ Quote ]
| For anyone who wants to look at the raw
| data, itâs available at the Top 500 site.
| Just think, out of the 500 fastest
| computers on the planet, Linux is used on
| 455 of them, over 90%, Microsoft Windows is
| used on 5 of them, exactly 1.0%, and Mac
| OSX isnât used at all.

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.
