Obviously Linux, Don't believe it:
Just take a look.
1.The Most Powerful Supercomputers Today Run Linux!
The talk about the top 500 fastest supercomputers, 90 per cent of them run
on some variant of Linux.
2. Linux Powers Japan's Bullet Trains
We all know about the Shinkansen, (popularly known as Bullet Train), which
is the network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. The trains are famous
for their super fast speeds of 240–320 km/h. The Shinkansen uses an
Automatic Train Control (ATC) system to eliminate the requirement of the
trackside signals. Additionally, it uses the Automatic Train Protection
system which is a centralized traffic control that networks and computerizes
all tasks related to train movements, tracks, stations and schedules. And
yes, most of these systems are powered by Linux.
3.High-Tech Road Traffic Control Running On Linux!
How about high-tech traffic control system, which can read and influence the
rate of traffic flow, read the time intervals of outgoing and incoming
network traffic that can help in making complex network traffic policies and
shape the mechanism using a variety of algorithms. Sounds like a super
technology? As per Funtoo's report, San Francisco has recently started to
use such traffic controllers and yes they are powered by Linux.
4.In-Vehicle-Infotainment And Communications Systems Of Toyota Runs Linux
The In-Vehicle-infotainment (IVI) systems which are used in automobiles is
the latest trend in the auto industry which delivers entertainment and
information content to the travellers. Although every IVI system has
different features, the basic functions these devices perform are managing
and playing audio content, utilizing navigation for driving, delivering
entertainment to the rear seater like movies, games, social networking,
reading out incoming and sending outgoing SMS text messages, making phone
calls, and providing access to the network-enabled content like traffic
conditions, sports scores and weather forecasts.
And one of the largest automobile manufacturers, Toyota is using Linux as
the base platform for its IVI technologies! Aren't you proud?
5. Linux Powers The New York Stock Exchange
One of the fastest moving businesses of trading stocks, bonds and
derivatives, the world of financial exchanges are becoming Linux friendly.
Yes, the largest exchange of the world, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
has replaced their Unix based systems with Linux. The systems can generate 1
,500,000 quotes and process 250,000 orders every second together with
producing acknowledgments of every transaction within two milliseconds. Go
Linux!
6. Linux Helping In Power Particle Physics Research
CERN, the largest particle physics laboratory of the world trusts upon our
beloved Linux to control its huge particle accelerator. The laboratory makes
use of Scientific Linux (SL), the Linux distro produced by Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (
CERN). Scientific Linux like any other Linux distro is free and open sourced
and is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
7. Linux On Air Traffic Control Systems
The FAA's (Federal Aviation Administration) Common ARTS software of the
United States has been moved to Linux. The air traffic control computer
system, Common ARTS (or Automated Radar Terminal System), is used to track
aircrafts. It automates the air traffic controllers job by synchronizing
various radar and human inputs. Most of the TRACONs around U.S. are using
this system.
8.Nuclear Submarines Running On Linux
The U.S. Department of Defense is using Linux in many of its technologies
and the U.S. Army is “the” single largest install base for Red Hat Linux.
But the most amazing amongst all of these is the nuclear submarine fleet of
US Navy which is powered by Linux. This nuclear submarine was delivered by
Lockheed Martin to the US government in 2004, and it is powered by Red Hat
Linux.
9.The Four Web Bigshots, Google, Amazon, Twitter and Facebook; They All Use
Linux!
The largest search giant Google, the biggest social networking sites
Facebook and Twitter, and the most popular e-merchant Amazon they all share
your OS, Linux, for various web and cloud services!
So next time you tell some one that you are using Linux, say that proudly!
