Any server or supercomputer running linux will not have xorg installed because of the increased attack surface with graphical programs.

I don't really see the point in using a GUI version when any useful software worth its salt will have a command line version of it. When you're running servers or computers that simply cannot crash for any reason, you need to trim out the fat of what you really don't need.

if they ran FreeBSD instead they would be 10x times faster

The ones at my workplace do have X-Forwarding over SSH enabled.

Sometimes you get a video back as simulation results, and you can't exactly copy it back to your computer, so VLC is installed on the clusters.
When debugging multiprocess applications, TotalView's GUI is just better all-around. There are use cases, however small.

The real question is what DON'T they do with them.

I have colleagues that work with a couple of the fastest supercomputers in the US and they do need that kind of power--sometimes more-- to solve the mathematical problems they're tackling.

You can only access the cluster via SSH. I don't think framebuffer would help because the whole setup is headless.

FreeBSD literally has the worst kernel, even OpenBSD is better.

I wonder what'd happen if some /g/entooman actually did this. Post a screenfetch in the desktop threads.

Supercomputers aren't meant with simplicity in mind, hell I doubt they even have graphical interfaces

The sad truth is that most of them are being used to make enormous profiles on everyone and make more efficient targeted ads.
