Maybe he can convince
The military that Linux is a good (superior) alternative to anything from Redmond. Yes, Sir!
Retired joint chiefs chairman dons a Red Hat
What do you get when you cross a Red Hat with a Green Beret? I don't know, but the commercial Linux and Java application server markets are about to find out. Retired General Henry Hugh Shelton — a native Tarheel born in Tarboro, North Carolina, and a former commander of the 82nd Airborne Division based in Fort Bragg — was named …

Subtractive mixing?
I for one welcome our new brown-hatted overlord. Doesn't sound right, somehow.

On a monitor, red and green make blue...
He's being hired to run (monitor) the company...
