Just wow....that whole email.
I have worked on gov/mil systems using linux and that person is calling it hacked together? Lmao. If that was the case, then none of the distros could be used on such systems I worked on (I have seen SUSE, RHEL, etc. in use). Heck, the most stable setup I ever work on was a RHEL tweaked heavy for simulation duty for training students. Guess what broke the most, the darn one gateway end point running Windows.
