I was unsure if to post this item here, since I sincerely do not want to be gloating (the German term "Schadenfreude" would be more fitting) about once computer literacy. But the whole affair does not have much to do with IT knowledge but common sense and taking a second to read and think.

Take a look yourself in a "The Register" news item.

And if you really want to digg into the story, read the original CentOS log containing the whole correspondence...
