Looks like someone is going to be having fun at the Department of Defense. Can Tux save the world and make it a better place? The article explains what the Department of Defense is looking at doing.

“Linux is going to war - and this time, it’s not with Microsoft. The US Department of Defense has bought two Linux supercomputers to help it with war games.

The two supercomputers will be used to by the DoD in battlefield simulations in virtual war zones across the world. The extra processing power will mean the DoD can play with its toy soldiers on a larger scale than was possible before - 3,000 troops can be now be virtually manoeuvred among one million civilian vehicles.”

Sounds like fun, but war is never a fun thing.
