In fact, you can run openSUSE on a super computer and it looks and behaves just like on your own computer, but just a tad faster.
IIR from an IBM presentation, they also run Suse linux on their mainframes. I recall Geoff Collyer (of C News fame) showing me UNIX on an an IBM mainframe at UofT back in 1983. I'd be using UNIX on a PDP-11. He ran MAKE on the whole kernel tree, something that took about 12-15 minutes on the PDP-11. It was a "don't blink or you'll miss this" event. It was as if he'd just typed return with no command, the cursor came back that fast. I doubt machines have grown slower since then :-) -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
