Message from the VP

Paul Smith

Check out coverage on how the NSA is adopting open source in the cover story featured in Government Computer News, "Open Yet More Secure" to see how the open source community was able to save the National Security Agency's defense department and intelligence agencies millions in hardware costs.

Red Hat is also excited to announce that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 has received Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Special Interoperability Certification from the Defense Information System Agency (DISA) in accordance with the Department of Defense (DoD) IPv6 Master Test Plan.

This certification further demonstrates Red Hat's ongoing commitment to meeting the growing demands of government agencies and enterprises as they adapt to the next-generation Internet. I encourage you to read the press release to learn more or click here to the review information on how DISA is using Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Respectfully,

Paul Smith, VP of Government Sales Operations
