[CLUE-Talk] AOL in Negotiations to buy Redhat Linux ?????

[Richard Knechtel]

I think this could be VERY dangerous!  Me thinks AOL would buy up Red Hat 
and it will go the way of Netscape. It wouldn't surprise me any if M$ and 
AOL were in cahoots to take out Red Hat, as a starting point to take out 
Linux all together.

Tha fact remains that only M$ OS's get shipped with PC's. If AOL wants to 
keep their "sign me up" on the M$ desktop they have to play by M$'s 
ball.  Try to mail order pc's or go into a coputer store and buy a pc with 
another OS besides M$ (not include MAC). You really can't - unless you buy 
from IBM, they will still sell Linux PC's / laptops.
