Call the FBI!

Poor Tuttle, OK– they have Jerry Taylor as their City Manager. It seems his hosting provider installed CentOS, an excellent Linux distribution, on the computers used to host Tuttle’s web site, but never configured the computers after the initial install. The web site thus simply showed the default CentOS web page, which includes instructions as to how to configure it. Jerry Taylor instead wrote the CentOS team and threatened to call the FBI unless they “removed their website from his website.”

The CentOS guys were extremely nice about it, even as they became exasperated with how dense this guy was. They had no obligation to provide any support to this guy, but they did, and every time they asked him for the information they needed he became more irate and ignorant. Finally they just went ahead and figured out who the guy’s ISP was for him and told him to go ask the ISP, and after the ISP resolved it, Jerry had the audacity to tell the CentOS guys that it would have been better for them to solve the problem for him more quickly.

Hats off to Jerry Taylor, the most smartest man in Tuttle, OK!
