I remember working with someone contracting for DoD who had to rebuild Apache because he wasn't allowed to use open source libraries for security reasons 😂 your tax dollars at work
That doesn't make sense. The NSA published an excellent guide to secure hardening of RHEL that was like a Bible for all the security teams back in the day
DoD probably just had some dummies back then that eventually got replaced
It's a lot better now, but getting to military web sites, especially OWA, has always been a pain in the ass on personal computers. I tried this out trying to avoid using my main computer for work stuff and it just didn't work that well.
I don't think anyone was really using it that much which is probably why it isn't maintained.

TAILS is probably better than this ever was.

Its functionally pretty close to a thin client OS? You could probably roll your own with a little bit of effort

It was kinda bad.
