 The site www.whitehouse.gov  is running Apache on Linux.

Disturbing? It's just an operating system. FreeRepublic runs on Apache/Linux also. Personally, I think Linux is American as apple pie.

Somehow I doubt it's running on Red Flag. Any takers on which Linux distro? SuSE, Red Hat, Debian, Slackware?

Sorry, it's not. It was originally developed in Finland by Linus Torvalds, the son of a well-known communist.

Somehow I doubt it's (the White House) running on Red Flag.

Well let's hope it's not Red Flag, but even if it's not, they still have the same open source parent code, which is free for anyone on the internet to download and examine the source code text base for security flaws.

Thankfully it only seems to be a public site, and not any sort of intranet (which I highly doubt has very much Linux on it at all).
