Then why hasn't the Linux market share exploded?
If you're operating a "cluster" of, say, 2,048 fast PowerPCs:
1) you're NOT going to be buying 2,048 Macs, rather, you're going
to be
buying board-level PPC solutions, of which there are several, and
Why not. Many other places are doing it. Apple sells a 8 CPU cluster
preconfigured as a standard solution:<http://www.apple.com/xserve/
workgroupcluster/>
Virginia has one <http://www.tcf.vt.edu/>
Also, note my qualification:
"I'm separating the use of Linux in the server world versus Linux on the
desktop."
Linux on a cluster is definitely a server, not a desktop thing.
