I wonder if the linux foundation lobbied in Munich for Limux. I'm well aware that the issue wasn't the windows kernel vs the linux kernel, but does that matter for the public perception? For Max Mustermann, Linux lost in Munich. Edit: Just for clarification, I didn't mean to suggest that the linux foundation did lobby. I just wonder if they were thinking about it, and what their decision was.

Why not BSD? Could BSD be utilized for a supercomputer?

  This was addressed in previous hn discussion and it boils down to specialized support for certain HPC hardware. I think that also not having a focus on scientific software probably also hurts.
