its very much chicken and egg. Cray used Linux because all the customers were using linux. There was never a technical meeting discussing their relative merits. The Tera MTA project was actually BSD based, because it was from an age where the BSD project had clear technical superiority (and they were probably worried about complying with the GPL) As others have mentioned there was a Mellanox stack in Free circa 2005 that I worked with. It was used at Isilon (BSD based) in production. There really isn't a technical discussion here at all, when an overwhelmingly large part of your userbase uses X, it would be pretty stupid to only support Y, and probably not defensible to support X and Y |
