[SLUG] Linux in the lab

[Richard Neal <phlizard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Tux people

Ive just read this article posted on slashdot but the following
paragraph caught my eye-

"Future supercomputers must be cost-effective, efficient and easy to
enhance and scale. Scalable supercomputing systems that run proprietary
operating systems clearly are a thing of the past," said Bill
Feiereisen, leader of Los Alamos' Computer and Computational Sciences
Division. "Instead of buying a complete proprietary computing system, we
are looking toward a future in which a robust set of integrated, open
source software tools enables us to assemble a truly scalable
supercomputer from components that best meet our needs. We are excited
by the new partnership with Linux NetworX to help advance these goals."

Now when you have people like Los Alamos National Laboratory saying
Linux rules it makes the whining from Richmond seem pretty pathetic

ooh and the URL
