Lick your chops, Red Hat and Novell, because the owner of the world's second largest network is looking to standardize on one flavor of Linux.


To be clear for those who don't read the whole article.  They are currently using a variety of systems many of which were put in locally (without central approval) to accomplish goals that the centrally planned systems could not achieve.  They plan to standardize those systems already using Linux on one version of Linux rather than using whichever version the local System Operator chooses.  That would enable keeping on top of security a lot easier.   This is not about moving the whole U.S. Navy to Linux (not yet anyhow...). 

My guess would be Redhat.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
