GNU/Linux in the U.S. Government

Hey Janina,
The National Weather Service's entire Advanced Weather Information 
Processing System (AWIPS) is soon going to be entirely running on Linux. 
 One of the fastest super computers in the world run by the Forecast 
Systems Laboratory runs on Linux.  However, AWIPS is inaccessible 
because just about all of the applications run under XWINDOWS.
