[CS-FSLUG] OT: How Linux mastered Wall Street

[Fred A. Miller]

The largest exchange, the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) Euronext, is
run on a Linux system
<http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9053008/NYSE_places_buy_on_Linux_hold_on_Unix>
that can generate 1,500,000 quotes and process 250,000 orders every
second, offering acknowledgments of each transaction within two
milliseconds.
