So the U.S. Govt has never used linux anywhere? Wow.
Not in most installations, and definitely not in DoD facilities. The "Office of Inspector General" has deemed open source to be "Verboten".
That's going to become an interesting situation when Solaris goes open source...

*Question:* Why isn't there a commercial solution available in some cases?
*Answer:* What company in their right mind would engineer a competing product to a solution that costs $0.00 ???
Again making the mistake that open source equates non-commercial.
Once again... The Office of Inspector General has deemed (any and all) open-source to be forbidden.
Whether it be commercial of non-commercial open-source software it's forbidden.
