[NTLUG:Discuss] Strainge Request, Maybe?

[Bug Hunter]

 OH, yes, I forgot.  Google.com, the search engine folks, use 4000 (and
are moving to 8000) linux boxes arrayed together.  Ask how many Win2k has
arrayed together in a production environment.

  Computalog, Inc., a division of Precision Drilling, went to Linux for
its data critical applications because of reliability and cost.
Computalog has 40% of the Canadian Oil Well Logging market.  They are
building a supercomputer array of Linux boxes in Fort Worth, and alreay
have one in Houston Texas.
