AOL Time Warner in talks to buy RedHat

[x0xCRIZx0x]

Hi all, just carousing through some news and came across this link. I think it's a good opportunity to leverage linux to the average home user. Although I wondering why they chose Redhat. Do they have more of a user base than the other distros? *shrug*

If it does happen you, if the response to this "rumor" on the Red Hat mailing lists is any indication, there will be alot of former Red Hat user. Myself included. >

It makes sense. AOL always complained about their icon not being on the desktop on WIndows based systems. Now they would be able to just have their online service as the browser.
