Linux Is No Longer Just an Upstart (Boston Globe)

Here is an article from the Boston Globe reporting from the Enterprise Linux Forum. "...Linux has mastered the art of linking thousands of small computers together to form powerful data networks. For instance, Lawson Stores, a large retail chain in Japan, uses 15,000 networked Linux boxes as point-of-sale terminals. In addition, Linux is routinely used on clusters of powerful computers linked together to run demanding scientific and technical applications, as well as processing visual effects for popular movies like "Shrek.""
