[lug] [OT] AOL to buy RedHat?

[Scott A. Herod]

What scaries me is that AOL/Time-Warner/Turner/... has its fingers 
in a lot of pies.  It would be bad for a company to discover that
they suddenly had to change the Linux distribution they worked with
because they competed with an AOL subsidiary.  Admittedly, the problem
is worse with MS because there you have no recourse of going to 
someone else's distribution of Windows.
