Here is what I said about the issue.

I have relatives in Tuttle. I am going to forward this link to them so they can see what a moron their city manager is. I have not laughed this hard in several days.

That was some funny stuff. Taylor should've threatened to put CentOS in Guantanamo Bay.

I would've loved to see the reaction of the FBI computer crime devision to a report like that.

Perhaps Linux isn't ready for the Desktop after all.

But at least now we know that it isn't Linux's fault.

Wasn't it running on a server at some other location?

Anyway, I'm glad I don't live there as he won't be getting state tax money from me.

More seriously though, I just hope the guy was panicking and lost it. If not, he lacks any sort of reading comprehension... At least this man isn't in a position of power...
