Enterprise. "According to TOP500, a project that tracks and detects
trends in high-performance computing, SUSE Linux Enterprise is the Linux*
of choice on the world's largest HPC supercomputers today. Of the top 50
supercomputers worldwide, 40 percent are running on SUSE Linux Enterprise,
including the top three -- IBM* eServer Blue Gene at the Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory, IBM eServer BlueGene/P (JUGENE) at the Juelich
Research Center and SGI* Altix 8200 at the New Mexico Computing

MacOS X 2 0.40 % Solaris 2 0.40 % UNICOS 3 0.60 % Super-UX 2 0.40 % AIX 24 4.80 % Tru64 UNIX 1 0.20 % Windows Server 2003 6 1.20 %
Customers, Partners Run Top Supercomputers on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for High Performance Computing Posted Jun 11, 2008 22:48 UTC (Wed) by dag- (subscriber, #30207) [Link] I am surprised that Novell waited this long for making it public. When I saw the press articles about the new RoadRunner super-computer that will rank #1 on the top500 list and is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, I looked at the top500 list and noticed that for the top20 most of them either were running an 'unidentified' Linux or (modified) SLES. Which made me wonder why Novell did not advertise it more than it did. Now that Red Hat made those headlines I guess some people at SuSE woke up and realized they should have made some more noise about this public secret. On the eve of a new top500 list being released Novell is trying to harvest the past. A lost opportunity :-/
