The VMware tools has a pesky habit of enabling "cups" which will stop much of OES from functioning correctly. To resolve that virtual issue you need to check out TID 7007383

The London Stock Exchange has successfully set into live trading a new matching engine built on Novell's SUSE Linux platform.

The move has been billed as one of the LSE's most significant technological developments since the increasing prevalence of electronic trading led to the closure of the traditional exchange floor in 1986. LSE chief executive Xavier Rolet has insisted that the exchange, once a monopoly, will deliver record speed and stable trading in order to fight back against the fast erosion of its dominant marketshare by specialist electronic rivals.

This news comes as SUSE Linux shines in the spotlight on Jeopardy this week as the platform which IBM's WATSON Supercomputer is built upon.

February 14 to February 16 2011, the IBM Watson Supercomputer will test its trivia skills on Jeopardy! in an upcoming competition against past champions Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter.

IBM's DeepQA software, which runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, on 10 racks of IBM Power 750 servers, powers the technology for those contestants who appear on "Jeopardy!" The POWER7® platform is known for its ability to meet high-performance, high-capacity and near-linear scaling. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is the fastest operating system on IBM POWER7, based on recent SPEC benchmarks, and thus a natural choice for IBM's DeepQA software powering Watson.
