The new supercomputer -- an SGI AltixT 3000 single-system image supercomputer -- has been installed at the space agency's Ames Research Center in California."

    Off Topic. Troll.

    I'm not sure why I even bother replying to this obvious trolling, but here it goes anyway.

    When was the last time you found an EULA on a VCR? Never? And on your Nintendo system? Never? Oh, what a surprise. How about your brand new car? Dishwasher? Bed? Computer? Anything? I don't even like the X-Box but if I had one I would definetley install Linux on it, since it is my own property, and as with everything else I own - I do what I want with it since I bought it :-D

    What font problems? It is pretty obvious you never tested one of the newer distributions.

    And to answer your SCO/Linux FUD. You just need to read and educate yourself. That would take care of most of your illusions.
