Actually this is sadly a true story... Let's see if I can say this without
getting myself fired for leaking info out... The older machines in the cache
complex were running Windows NT on Alphas. Shortly after the first of the
year ALL those machines were converted over to Linux machines. With that
project complete, many of our Sys Admins are looking for ways to deploy it
on various parts of the network. Many flavors of *nix were looked upon. They
just decided that RedHat was one of the flavors best suited for the project.
Note to Bill if he's still on the list: Hey send someone cute from FreeBSD
over to sleep with someone at AOL so we can get that on the Network instead
=D
