Stupid bureaucrat tricks

[mdlbear]

You just couldn't make stuff like this up. In this amazing exchange of email Jerry Taylor, the city manager of Tuttle, Oklahoma, threatens to call the FBI on CentOS (maker of a Linux distribution) because their name was on the city's misconfigured website. Another account can be found at The Reg, but the email exchange really speaks for itself.

I still think CentOS should bill the city for the time spent trying to support the asshat.

They'd have a good case for a harassment lawsuit if they didn't pay up...

I am flaberghasted. CentOS makes a fairly straightforward linux system with extremely easy to use setup WEB pages. I am impressed by their tech support, despite the amazingly dense 'customer'.
