First National Bank of Omaha throws Sun Out

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the penguin-is-in dept.

Grifter writes " First National Bank of Omaha said this week that it's nearing completion of a complete changeout of its distributed server infrastructure for a mainframe and blade-server architecture based on Linux. While only 80% complete, the move is already expected to save the company $1.8 million this year in operating expenses and another $9.6 million through 2011." More proof that banks know how to save money.

    If they had done this with BSD, you know there would have been a devil in the details.

    I've gotten quite a bit of email from Washington Mutual, lately. They want me to verify my account at their web site.

    I'd really love to help them out, but I don't have a Washington Mutual account. Maybe I should direct them to that guy in Nigeria.
