You don't mean "Legion" as in http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~legion/ do you? These folks while open to newer and better hardware, they also seem to have become stuck on linux because it's what they could in stall on their desktops with IDE cdroms a long time ago. I tried to steer them into the light, but.... The name is derivative from the Herbert's "Dune" books. It's predecessor was "Mentat".
