Re:US Steel use of Linux?

Go and read the nippon steel annual report --- only 1 blast furnace (the number 3 furnace at kimitsu is linux based).

>>>its one article about one use of linux. you think they are required to mention every use of linux throughout the company in one article?

Precisely --- they don't mention that the rest of the world is run by unix'es and qnx'es. That's why you don't know that your electricity comes from a QNX-based nuclear power station, the tunnel/bridge toll booths in New York city runs QNX, the traffic lights are run by QNX, the subway lines are run by QNX, the radio stations are hooked up with satellites run by QNX, the television studios uses QNX systems for automations...

One article about one company using linux on their blast furnace ain't mean anything at all to the rest of the military industrial complex.
