Hi list,
I just did my daily news scan and saw some screenshots that illustrate the press release [0] announcing the first collisions at the LHC. Those screenshots show windows and buttons that exactly match my CentOS GNOME Desktop [1]. AFAIK, SuSE/Novell has different skins, as has (Open)Solaris and AIX, for instance.
So, has there anybody more information on this? Would make a nice success story for CentOS!
Best,
Timo

There is reasonable info off the grapevine that no, they dont use scilinux everywhere - and there are large number of CentOS installs at cern.

After some searching on the web, I found out that the skin is exactly the same:

So no way to decide from screenshots what they run...

That would make for a hell of a press release too!
"Linux (specifically CentOS) responsible for LHC blackhole that destroyed the world!"
Just think of the publicity we'd get! </snark>
/no I don't think it'll destroy the world. Yes, I think some of the researchers are smoking crack if they think the LHC events are coming back in time to destroy itself.

(Besides the fact that -- metaphysically -- simply nobody would be 'here' to determine that 'we' vanished into a black hole. So, this just *can't* happen. Like the falling tree in the forest where's nobody to hear it fall makes no noise. ;)
SCNR,

No worse than getting CentOS getting blamed for hacking web servers ;-)
