Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Phony books. When a project tanks, they throw in the sink too.
Black ops. Some of the star war testing was done in a building nearby and they blew millions on it, we never got a star war in orbit either.
Knowing government contracts, I know that many contractors are in it for money. They are the ones who took the American public in some cases. I doubt the Air Force is qualified to oversee such a project. They are bound to get stuck. A big company would have simply bought out a smaller company and paid themselves to do the work. When finished, they'd part out the left overs.
At one time the entire military system was a collection of thousands of odd things. The thinking was that if someone were to try to take over the material then they'd have to learn each system. The security would be in massive learning curve. Second to that was the idea of hacking. One would have to hack hundreds of odd systems to gain any advantage. Putting all their eggs into one basket may be a poor choice.
