Democrats can't run Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| THE U.S. Democratic Party has been touting its IT credentials as proof that
| it is a better bet than luddite John McCain who has never turned on a
| computer.
|
| However, cracks in the Democrats' veneer have been showing lately, notably
| with the appointment of the technology and privacy anti-Christ Joe Biden as
| vice presidential candidate. It seems the Democrat's open sauce credentials
| are being questioned.

Obama Campaign Hopes for Better Web Security
,----[ Quote ]
| The requirements are pretty much what you'd read in any e-commerce security
| help-wanted ad: VPN (virtual private network) and Unix or Linux experience,
| along with a "deep understanding" of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl)
| development. And of course, the successful candidate must be willing
| to "respond off-hours to high urgency security situations."
