Was: “Novell Partners Blog Conveniently Renames “Red Hat Linux” Just “Linux””
[Correction: Top500.org lists the operating system of Roadrunner as “Linux”, so nothing was done deliberately by the Ops Americas blog.]

IN TOP-TIER supercomputing, SUSE lost its top spot some months ago, so it bragged about this spot while it lasted. One of Novell’s promotional sites (not directly affiliated with Novell though) has just published a list of top supercomputers along with the variants of GNU/Linux that they run. Funnily enough, where Red Hat should definitely appear they seem to list it generically

SUSE Linux has traditionally performed very well in the high performance realm.
Due to Autobuild and now the OpenSUSE Build Service we have been able to build a common code base across many architectures like: x86, x86_64, Power, Itanium and System Z. This gives people the ability to either scale out with commodity processors are scale up with higher power CPUs.

- Roadrunner – Linux
- Jaguar – Compute Node Linux
- Pleiades NASA/Ames – SLES 10

Maybe it’s not deliberate, but it’s curious how they replace “Red Hat” on “Roadrunner” with just “Linux”. It might be Novell’s Red Hat envy [1, 2, 3] because they abstain from showing that Red Hat holds the number-one spot.
Microsoft and Novell still want more of Ballnux everywhere. Microsoft funnels money into Novell to make it so. █
