[LUG] Linux in the Olympics... ?

 

I subscribe to the goverments supply mailling lists - just the free one, 
but this came up in the "you need to pay us money to get the full details" 
bit:

1. Redhat Linux Servers

So I'm guessing "London 2012" is something to do with the olympics. No 
idea which govt. branch is is, or what external contractor is working on 
it, but hey ...

If anyone wants to know more it's: http://www.supply2.gov.uk/

Although you need to pay to get details of contracts out of your region 
and it's stupidly stupid in the way you need to use some stupid 6-digit 
code to specify which areas of supply you can supply. Stupid goverment 
system written by a stupid contractor at some point no-doubt.
