Linux Reconstructing Tree of Life (Wired)

Wired covers the use of a Linux cluster to figure out the relationships of thousands of species on the evolutionary tree. ""The computer project has certainly grown over the years, but the real innovations that made this possible are the concept of cluster computing and the Linux operating system," [biologist Ward] Wheeler added. "Linux makes it so easy to create a supercomputer."" (Thanks to "Fuzzy Gorilla")
