Good point! :) You know it is just a matter of time, that if the servers are all Linux (and then all Red Hat Linux to boot), before we start seeing something from Microsoft making good fodder with it. I do know open source was heavily utilized, but have never bothered yet to waste any time learning what that entailed. It would sure suck to see Linux entangled and even blamed in part for the most public government boondoggle in recent history.

I read that the technology used is 10 years out of date, that 5 million lines of code need to be rewritten, and that's not to mention the lies, damned lies and propaganda swirling around this debacle. SIX people successfully registered on the first day and I just read it was all the way up to 100 registrations by Oct. 2nd. On Fri, Nov 1, 2013 at 7:07 AM, Mark J.

On one hand, who would have thought back in the 90s that one day a Linux company would stride alongside the likes of Oracle in the mainstream media? On the other hand, however, the likely hood that 6 weeks will fix things is anything but certain, so there could be a lot of egg-on-face for Red Hat if they (all parties involved) can't deliver the fix by the (unrealistic) deadline. No doubt, like many of you, I have bitten off my fair share of "damn, I wish I hadn't agreed to this" projects, so it will be interesting to see what comes of it. I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but does anyone know what aspect would have called for Red Hat to be brought in (short of Linux servers themselves being utilized with HealthCare.GOV)? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
