Penguins demand Linux for Antarctic data center

One of our editors at SearchDataCenter.com created a Google map of international data centers to go with a story, but he was kind of “cold” to Linux:

So, we thought we’d ask some of our Linux experts for their opinions on the international data centers. Here’s what they had to say:

France

• Pros: Central location, strong infrastructure
• Cons: The French

Brazil

• Pros: Cheap land, cheap labor
• Cons: Casual Fridays = mankinis

Canada

• Pros: Low energy costs, cooler temperatures
• Cons: Data center actually a zamboni. Still runs better than a Vista desktop.
