The FAA Saves $15 Million by Migrating to Linux

Posted by Zonk on from the new-hat-means-cheaper-bills dept.

Neopallium writes "Red Hat has announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) saved the federal government more than $15 million in datacenter operating and upgrading costs by migrating to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The FAA executed a major systems migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in one-third of the original scheduled time and with 30 percent more operational efficiency than the previous system."

  3. Too bad they cant stop the subhuman arab hijackers by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Should have spent that money on guns for pilots and stewardesses so they can put a bullet in the head of every filthy arab that boards the plane.

    Remember, they attacked us on 9/11 but we will not rest until every filthy subhuman arab man, woman, and child has been slaughtered.

    God bless America!

    Linux sucks. It is an underground OS that is completely unstandardized. Linux geeks, get the fuck over yourselves.
