You mean I'm not supposed to run CentOS on my production machines? Uh-oh... :-)

HA! You can, but you're on your own buddy!

Many years ago, I was doing defense contract work as a consulting engineer to a "beltway bandit" outfit. They had all the usual stuff going on, especially conference room meetings with PowerPoint presentations. Bullets and acronyms. Every freakin' line had some acronym or another.

One such meeting, my contact there, a program manager with a wicked sense of humor, was presenting, and at the end of the slides filled with the acronyms, he gave a summary of the possible outcomes with the customer, including a) continuing close relationship, b) loose cooperation, and c) something called "FYBYOYO", pronounced "fib-yo-yo".

Asked what it meant, he replied, "That's: 'F**k You Buddy, You're On Your Own".

It's come in handy many times in succeeding years.
