Hi all,
Greetings from Linux for You (www.lfymag.com)
In order to increase people-orientation and GNU/Linux users' participation in LFY, we have decided to introduce a new section (sorry, we are still racking our brains for the 'perfect' name) in the magazine, where GNU/Linux users can share their opinions regarding one interesting topic each month.
Every month our team will decide on a question or topic and mail it to various ILUG mailing lists. We hope that the ILUG members will enthusiastically share their opinions on the subject. The team picks the best responses and publishes it in LFY. The answers can be technical, humorous or radical (you may give a totally new perspective to the topic being discussed).
This month we've decided to start with the topic, "Why is it that 8 of the world's top 10 supercomputers are powered by GNU/Linux?"
We request all those who are interested to kindly send in your responses to this question to Janani (writetojanani@gmail.com) with a CC to Atul (atul@efyindia.com).
We really hope you are as enthusiastic as we are about this.
Look forward to your responses.
Thanks and regards,
Janani Gopalakrishnan (http://gjanani.googlepages.com) Atul Goel (EFY Group, New Delhi)

Which are the two that dont run linux.
Well, it's not two, but three in the Top 10 list [0] which don't run Linux -- #3. ASC Purple runs AIX #7. Earth Simulator runs Super-UX #10. Jaguar runs UNICOS Regards, BG
