[TriLUG] visiting Red Hat HQ

IRRC, Ragland was built in '58 (but could be wrong, may infact be 59), 
and the basement (aka Data Center) as a Civil Air Defense room. Now it's 
a data center and they have kept it up quite nice.

Jim, you're right that it is slated for demolition, but not until the 
"new" data center is built/migrated.

Oh, and they still only have 10Mb to most of the offices in Ragland.
