If AOL buys RedHat then it's goodbye to that OS. I will not use any product owned by that company. I'll go to Debian rather than go with RedHat. They are gonna lose a lot of devoted customers if this deal goes through. RedHat wouldn't mind...I mean, they get bought by AOL, then they're set. No need to worry about any financial issues for them. I also think AOL will twist the code into some damn proprietary crap that can't see didly squat and won't run on anything you have...oh and yes, you'll probably have to use AOL to get on the friggin Net! BAH!
