Katsokaas monessako paikassa Linux jyllää, sellaisissa paikoissa mistä et olisi uskonut Linuxia löytäväsi.
Government Users of Linux
Governments at all levels (national, state, federal and international) have opted to deploy Linux across their computer systems for a host of reasons. Some are purely technological, with the governments in question preferring the open-source benefits of the OS. Others are financial, as Linux is typically far less expensive than buying a license for Windows. Still others are political, as organizations like the World Trade Organization have actively pressured governments to shun Microsoft products. In any case, here are some of the governing bodies that now run Linux on their computers.
U.S. Department of Defense
According to Linux.com, the United States Department of Defense is the "single biggest install base for Red Hat Linux" in the world. Nor was it an unconscious choice, as Brigadier General Nick Justice, the Deputy Program Officer for the Army's Program Executive Office proclaims "open source software is part of the integrated network fabric which connects and enables our command and control system to work effectively, as people's lives depend on it." Justice went on to state that "when we rolled into Baghdad, we did it using open source", and that he was indeed Red Hat's "biggest customer."
U.S. Navy Submarine Fleet
FreeSoftwareMagazine.com reveals that "the US Navy nuclear submarine fleet is using GNU/Linux" as well.
Federal Aviation Administration
Few government users of Linux appear to be happier with their choice to switch than the United States Federal Aviation Administration. According to Wikipedia, the FAA announced in 2006 that it "had completed a migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in one third of the scheduled time and saved 15 million dollars" in the process of doing so. Score it another big-time government client for the Red Hat distribution of Linux.

Joulupukilla on tonttuarmeija. Tällä palstalla jyllää Penttiarmeija, vaikka se nyt onkin ollut välillä hiljaa. Vissiin ovat keskittyneet pelailuun ja finniensä puristeluun.
Mutta nyt, herätys! Rientäkää nyt äkkiä ostamaan kaikilla taskurahoillanne M$:n osakkeita, ennen kuin ne kokonaan katoavat markkinoilta.
