Linux to get the boot at US Army Corps of Engineers?

Not unexpected. You can't get a linux desktop system onto the Navy Marine Corps Internet (NMCI) system. Linux is used as a server in some places.

What do you expect when they don't' recognize how their security setup is? You have developers on NMCI that need to two computers to do their work. One is the NMCI windows system and the linux development systems are off the network. Need to look something up, pray that you can swivel around and use your desktop system.

I know of developers who have linux installed on gov't paid for laptops so that they can take them home to access source code repositories. It's a really screwed up system.
