Linux powers controllable Christmas lights for charity (Linux.com)

Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier takes a look at a web-controlled Christmas light display that is powered by Linux. "During the holiday season, Komarnitsky says that he runs four Linux servers to keep up with the load -- one for each webcam, and one that serves up the pages to the public. Komarnitsky says that the entire system is run by Linux, with the exception of the laptop that displays messages typed in by users. Komarnitsky uses three D-Link DCS-6620G webcams, one of which was donated by D-Link."
