I respectfully disagree.
A couple of years ago there were several Top500 entries with 'UK
finance institution' -
if I'm not wrong these were HP Superdome systems.
The Top 500 itself has moved into the petaflop era - and to get an
entry even in the 400's requires
a pretty special system these days. However, there are whole heap of
companies using high performance
Linux systems which are below Top500 class. I'm not expressing myself
well here - what I'm saying is
that lots of places are using lots of Linux systems its just not publicised.
