RE: AOL in Negotiations to Buy Red Hat

That is what I was thinking... AOL must want to hit the OS market now. And
since Red Hat is a relatively solid system. They can take that and bloom off
of that. You know if AOL did do that, I would take a look at it, even if it
is from AOL. Reason? It is not Microsnot software.

Or perhaps a company with the resources (and motivation) to market a
Linux-based household internet appliance which could compete with
Microsoft-based personal computers?

Now that would be fun to watch!
