Happy hacking.

"... The WikiLeaks server was removed from Amazon.com without any

their core Internet resources, run by US companies or based in the USA,
could face a similar destiny in a time of crisis. The first reactions
came very quickly, including a decision by the Russian government to
start using open source software as a way to reduce its dependence on
Microsoft and other US-developed proprietary software..."
