So I'm guessing there really wasn't much of a contest given the plethora of code available for GNU/Linux. That SuSE also has the best benchmark results is a bonus, but I bet they had better things to do that spend time porting code to AIX which would compile under SuSE without modification. The natural language understanding of the Watson software was fantastic, I love that it gets the joke answers (Obama's Lamas) before the humans as well as simply getting the factual answers. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
