    Which OS dominates the world's TOP 500 Supercompuuters?

    For a graphical appreciation of how Linux DOMINATES the Top 500 Super Computers look at this.

              Holy crap Batman! Are you booting Kubuntu from that SSD? What do you do with 8GB of RAM -- I guess you could run 6 or 8 VMs on that at the same time?

                Well, the SSD was for experimenting with. Got it on sale. With the right format and a few tweaks I can get buffered disk reads up to 220mbs - about the same as RAID5 on 4 devices. RAID0 approaches 400 mbs. Issues like degrading performance over time (ms not hrs) and slowing down as it fills up are apparent also. I used it in my media computer for a while but replaced it with a bootable CFII card instead. Now it's just for playing with. I may install Win7 Ultimate on it next. I launch Kubuntu from a four disk RAID0 that clocks at:

                Timing cached reads: 7962 MB in 2.00 seconds = 3983.83 MB/sec
                Timing buffered disk reads: 1076 MB in 3.00 seconds = 358.46 MB/sec

                The latest "affordable" SSD's are 50gb at 270mbs advertised (it will be much faster) are about $180us. Four of those in a RAID0 would SCREAM!

                As far as the RAM: I do a bit of video processing. I can rip a dvd and transcode two others at the same time while running FF, Tbird and OO before it all fills up!

                I can't wait to get my hands on a fresh i7 Quad
