Linux is making leaps for servers. IBM will use it in it's next Blue super comp. What is a quadrillion anyway?
And they'll play Quake 3 for testing the speed.

Blue Gene/L, the first member of the family, will contain 65,000 processors and 16 trillion bytes of memory. Due in 2004 or 2005, the system will be able to perform 200 trillion calculations per second. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will use the system for performing nuclear weapons simulations.
And they'll play Quake 3 for testing the speed.
