Abstract
The article discusses several interesting applications of Linux,
in a wide variety of environments. These include an oceanographic lab
running remote and inaccessible sensors, the development of a high-speed
network on a shoestring budget, a publishing company that evolved from
two people and a Unix box to 15 people on Linux workstations, the
development of “soft real-time” control systems in Europe
and South America, a military contractor building complex real-time
embedded applications, and the use of a Beowulf cluster computer for
supercomputing tasks such as weather simulation
