The European nuclear research facility, CERN, displayed their commitment to open source software during the recent OSCON. CERN generates immense amounts of information and distributes that information to scientific teams all over the planet, currently CERN maintains over 100 petabytes of data and generates an additional 35 petabytes of data every year. The team at […]

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, establishes the leading edge of scientific research in learning about the fundamental structures of the universe. Linux has played a major role at CERN, most notably through the development of Scientific Linux, a Linux distribution that makes it easy for scientists to set up and use a set […]
