Linux - you can't see it, but it's unified

When the Finnish university student had to write down the Minix clone system, Linux, because of his learning, I am afraid he would not think of a revolution in the computer world. After more than a decade, Linux has touched on every aspect of life, and even doubts, will Linux become the ally of the operating system? At least for now, the trend is already obvious.

First look at the hottest and most popular cloud computing technology, behind the cloud computing is virtualization and grid technology, and virtualization and grid technology is basically the world of Linux, the three people currently virtualized: Vmware, Xen In Hyper-V, Vmware and Xen, which have the largest market share, are based on Linux. Hyper-V's post-development momentum remains to be seen. It is estimated that Microsoft's free market strategy will not be too bad. Now there are only two public cloud centers in China: Ningbo and Foshan cloud computing centers are based on Linux.

Dedicated areas, such as seismic simulations, weather simulations, and large-scale animation design and rendering farms in Hollywood, are basically the realm of Linux.

Next is the supercomputer cluster. In HPCC, Linux is the undisputed overlord. In the global Top500 high-performance computer system, Linux accounts for more than 90% of the total, the rest is mainly Unix, and the others are basically insignificant.

The mainframe, now said the mainframe basically refers to IBM's z system mainframe, now IBM's main push on the mainframe of the z main machine in addition to its flagship - z / OS (non-UNIX), is Linux (mainly Redhat and Suse), so the Unix system that can run on the mainframe is only Linux.

Medium-sized machines, medium-sized machines refer to IBM's i-series medium-sized mainframes. Now they are combined with minicomputers and called Power Systems. The difference depends on the operating system. The operating system of the mid-range machines is i5/OS (non-Unix) and Linux.

Minicomputers and minicomputers are more diverse. They generally refer to Unix servers based on RISC and MIPS architecture CPUs on the market. Nowadays, there are small series of IBM's p series, HP's Alpha and Itanium (now disappeared, HP's minicomputers are now mainly Based on Intel's Itanium platform, Sun's T-series servers, operating systems based on Unix (IBM for AIX, HP for HP-UX, SUN for Solaris) and Linux, based on cost considerations, IBM and other vendors have accelerated The small machine is transferred from Unix platform to Linux.

Microcomputer server, commonly known as X86 or PC server, in the current three major PC server vendors: IBM, HP, DELL, operating system also has three people: Windows Server, Linux, Unix (Solaris-based), above 4CPU The high-end field is mainly based on Linux/Unix, and Windows has a considerable share of low-end servers with less than 2 CPUs. It is worth mentioning that LAMP (Linux+Apatch+MySQL+PHP) has an absolute advantage in Web services.

In the desktop field, needless to say, Windows is the absolute overlord, and it is also the only weakness of Linux, the last bastion of the unified rivers and lakes. But with Ubuntu and other desktop-focused distributions and the introduction of Linux-based Google Chrium OS, and the Linux-based Andorid system's counterattack on the X86 platform, Linux's growth in the desktop space is just around the corner.

Mobile phones and portable devices, mobile phone OS now has four major blocks: Linux, Unix (iPhone), Windows Mobile / Windows Phone, Symbian. Linux originally only used Moto. Later, Nokia introduced Meego based on Linux, and later changed to Maemo. Now with the launch of Google's Linux-based Android system, Linux is in the limelight, and now Andorid has become the dominant player in mobile operating systems, accounting for No. 1 in smartphone mobile operating systems!

Games, Windows fans The biggest criticism of Linux is that Linux's support for games is too bad, which is not surprising, most of the games on PCs are now designed for Windows. This is not Linux's poor support for games. It can only be said that there are too few Linux games. Now the Linux solution is to use Wine to be compatible with Windows games. It is said that 90% of Windows games do not run under Linux+Wine. problem. Now Linux also has a lot of native games, such as first-person shooter Nexuiz is not inferior to Windows CS. But - here is just a PC game. In other game areas, Linux is not a weak one. For example, one of the TV Game's overlords, Sony's PS3 system is Yellow Dog Linux 5.0!
