US Army struggles with Windows to Linux overhaul
The greatest penguin migration of all time
By Austin Modine
Published Tuesday 5th February 2008 20:53 GMT
In multiple media reports over the past two weeks, the US Army has
professed its love for the penguin. The Army eventually intends to
move from a Windows-based infrastructure over to Linux for its new,
roughly $200bn weapons program.
[....]
And while it seems both systems are being embraced by the Army,
Boeing's OS and Blue Force may not share the sentiments with each
other. FCS is going Linux.
"Boeing and the Army said they chose not to use Microsoft's
proprietary software because they didn't want to be beholden to the
company," reports The Washington Post. "Instead, they chose to develop
a Linux-based operating system based on publicly available code."
That potentially presents a major problem for the first brigade of
Linux-based FCS vehicles expected to be introduced in 2015. Linux-
based systems have a limited ability to communicate with Microsoft-
based systems. And interoperability issues aren't something you want
to deal with in a war zone.
According to the US Army online pub, Defense News, they'll first try
to patch things up using Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
"Red Hat 5 will link Linux with Microsoft and allow FCS forces to link
with other brigade combat teams," an Army official told Defense News.
"This will be an interim solution because over the long haul,
eventually all of the Army's networks will be Linux-based."

Linux is now, Linux is the future. Bye, bye, Microsoft Windows,
Hadron and Moshe, it's been nice knowing you.
