Supercomputer OS's
For the entire top 500 they are running a Unix variant or a linux variant.
Linux "owns" the list with Unix claiming just 92 out of the 500 machines, Mac OS X on three of them and not a single one running any M$ OS. This includes Japan's earth simulator, a vector machine (now ranked 14). IBM and HP are the top hardware vendors. Some interesting surprises for me. http://www.top500.org/stats/28/os/ -- JosephKK Gegen dummheit kampfen die Gotter Selbst, vergebens.Â*Â* --Schiller |

Supercomputer OS's
Why would a super computer run Windows? Most, if not all, are scientific
based that don't require much of an OS. Linux/Unix is great for that. It's faster, more efficient, you can make a custom kernel for your specific use... Even Microsoft knows that Linux has it's place: not on the desktop... I've used Linux a bit, but for the average user, it's not a good OS, not even close. I've had to support people running Linux that barely knew how to turn a computer on... Not fun. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "joseph2k" wrote in message et...

Supercomputer OS's/Vista general topic. Not a setup issue.
Why not post this in the Vista general group? It's not a setup question.
