Then you know we lost most fried food while GWB was president. The short order line pretty much died except on the weekend so it has nothing to do with the president and everything to do with the DoD.
It is not healthy. See also:No one will be getting fried food. Fat, skinny, tall, short, male, female, or other.
So what is your point?It is not healthy. See also:

That is just silly. Ubuntu is just Debian with some extra junk stuck on top. You could just set up Debian with Gnome or KDE or OpenStep or whatever. The extra junk Ubuntu adds is really stuff the military does not want in their systems.Ubuntu is free. Spend the next several years training users and staff on its benefits to ensure a happy adoption.

Of course you are correct and pedantic. I picked Ubuntu from the thousands of ditros because it is more well known outside the Linux world. I do believe you missed the point of my recommendation.That is just silly. Ubuntu is just Debian with some extra junk stuck on top.

Being that the navy and most of DoD runs on Linux there is no Linux messStick with XP vs the Linux mess.

That or custom software. It wouldn't surprise me at all for DoD to leave Windows altogether in the next ten years. Our NIPER computers are so locked down that we might as well just use dumb terminals they cannot run standalone any more so paying for enterprise Windows seems silly. Windows10 will require retraining anyway so we might as well switch. The only complication I can think of is SharePoint.In most cases Linux is taking over the server function. The argue ent is the ten feet to the users!
In working on DOD Contract for over ten years I bet this has to do with some kind of software hacks they can't easily redo. Plus the last thing they want is buy new computers if the current ones can still do the job required.

I don't go beyond NIPR and SIPR and yes they're all Windows, the only thing I was really getting at is that since local storage is pretty much taboo and they all have to be network connected to use it seems silly to use windows.When I first worked at NSA in the 90s all our workstations were Solaris. Eventually, they migrated to Windows. Today, NIPR, SIPR, JWICS, and NSAnet workstations are all Windows.
Another way that most corporations I've dealt with (both internally and as a consultant) is to do the "every other release" of Windows...Another way to look at the problem is that corporations don't support software for the truly long term. For some applications, software written in the 1960s or 70s may still be completely adequate.
I don't see why we have to accept software corporations's product life cycles as law. Those are marketing decisions that may have little bearing on the functional value of a product.
Governments and international organisations tend to stay with whatever system family they have been using since they first switched over to the world of computing. Call it a form of inertia, if you like, or a grim comfort with what is familiar.
This is very true. I had an internship with a federal government organization and they would not leave XP. They had recently purchased new laptops for assignment that came with Windows 7. They removed Windows 7 and installed XP on all the machines leading to some stability issues with drivers.
The cost of updating the systems to run anything other than xp could be massively more expensive.
I'd like to see the US gov't at least partly transition to Linux. But all they've done in the last decade plus is swap most of their remaining UNIX computers for Windows.
