BBC NEWS | Technology: "The Wimbledon tennis tournament will be relying on Linux and Grid computing to keep everything running smoothly during the two weeks of the championship. Mark McMurrugh, Wimbledon project director for IBM, says Linux was first used during the tournament in 1999 and, since then, more and more of the infrastructure has been converted.
Mr McMurrugh said IBM had prepared a Pocket Wimbledon for the 60-70 PDAs that will be given to the special guests. The PDAs, which will be O2's XDA, will give users access to scores, statistics, biographies and plot their position on an interactive map of the All England Club. "
