The Role of Linux in Grid Computing (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal looks at Linux
and grid computing. "Linux has gained a reputation for being a
highly efficient operating system in simpler application environments
running on smaller hardware configurations, the type that will be enabled
by the grid architecture. In such experimentation-based systems, the free
nature of Linux will play a crucial important role due to lower
investments."

The Role of Linux in Grid Computing (Linux Journal) Posted Jan 30, 2004 8:04 UTC (Fri) by ulajamb (guest, #16976) [Link] The article makes no mention of GGF's move to a more web service friendly framework: http://www-fp.globus.org/wsrf/default.aspIt's an important move because of its tighter integration with the way existing web services are employed. This will make it more ubiquitous and easily employed (and therefore active in more heteregenous environments). (But even so, the companies' comments about Linux and the clustering world's interest in Linux will still probably hold in this new arena in my opinion. Also, as of today, all of the tools and grid frameworks are all clearly geared towards UNIX in general.)
