Debian Linux cluster beats supercomputer in tsunami warnings

,----[ Quote ]
| The Philippine government's official weather service, PAGASA, has replaced 
| its SGI supercomputer with a clustered Debian Linux system that can process 
| information vital to protection against typhoons, floods, droughts, tsunamis 
| and other wild weather conditions at a fraction of the cost.   
| 
| The cluster includes eight PCs running as a single node, connected via a 
| gigabit switch, each with dual 64-bit Intel Xeon processors running the 
| Debian Linux OS.  
| 
| "We tried several Linux flavours, including Red Hat, Mandrake, Fedora etc," 
| said Alan Pineda, head of ICT and flood forecasting at PAGASA.
