[techtalk] Screen Savers

[Scott]

Not sure if any one on the list get's Tech TV, but they have a 90 minute 
call in geek show
nightly called The Screen Savers.  Last night they did a show from Austin 
and one of
the segments was a tour of the University of Texas at Austin computer 
center.  They
showed off one of their main network machines.  132 processors, 5 tb of 
storage.  They
did a close-up of the monitor on the cluster and it was Debian.  The guy 
asked if they ever
considered running Windows and the Professor looked at him and laughed and 
said-never.

The robotics lab is also running Linux, including their robots themselves.

Now if I could convince the guys at work that it can handle anything!
