Reading about the Tianhe-1A today, and noticed that most of the Top 500 computer systems run Linux. It is no secret that Linux has been my operating system of choice since I was a poor Student. I found this graph showing Supercomputer Operating Systems to show that people with very large budgets like it just as much.
Warning, you might need a magnifying glass to find windows and mac on this chart:
Side note: I still pronounce Linux wrong and probably will forever. The red neck in me I guess. When I first started using it, it was new enough that no one I talked with physically in rural Utah could correct me. When I was at SUU, one of my favorite professors tried but old habits die hard.
