Raytheon and Linux

Hi guys

I'm just not having a good day today. *sigh* Part of my job involves
working with NASA. Recently I installed Linux on my PC to help me work
better and more efficiently [I like it so much I was happy to install it
and use it full time at work too]. Now, I've been told by my employers
who are subcontracted to the main contractors(Raytheon) that Raytheon
wants me to remove Linux for "security reasons", and use Windows 95. Now
this _really_ annoys me.

I can't believe these _are_ the people working with NASA. [I know that
NASA do use Linux]. I'm just expressing my sheer disgust and venting
some spleen at being told to deinstall Linux and put back the losing
operating system, that's all. Maybe I should go drown myself in the
nearest toilet.

Cheers most annoyedly,
Alex.
