NewsForge covers day three of the Real World Linux 2004 conference in Toronto. Ed Kilroy, president of IBM Canada, delivered a keynote where he explained one Linux success story: "The 300mm wafer is for IBM's "power technology" processor, he said, and it is used in all sorts of applications, including Microsoft's X-Box game console. The assembly line is fully automated, start to finish, with no human intervention. It is controlled entirely by Linux computers and has been running 25 months without any failures or outages."
