AOL Wants Red Hat Linux!
"Watch out, Mr. Gates," said Mr. Case. "I'm younger and more diversified than you with nowhere near the legal stigma."

"Oh, and I'm trying to buy the distributor of the best competitor you have. Sleep tight. Kisses to Melinda."


AOL in Negotiations to Buy Red Hat


Lead: AOL Time Warner Inc. is in talks to buy Red Hat Inc., a prominent distributor of a computer operating system, an acquisition that would position the media giant to challenge arch rival Microsoft Corp., according to sources familiar with the matter.

Suport Senator Clinton's candidacy by contributing here. Every little bit helps. If you don't want to give, at least sign up to learn more via email. Lots of grass-roots stuff already going on.

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

No! No! No!

And furthermore...

Hell no!

Dawgonnit.

Don't even let Case get his hands on linux. Please!!

That would entirely ruin the entire reason behind linux in the first place. He'll take it, ruin it, then you'll have to pay 20 bucks a month to use it and have that freaken - You've got mail - in your ears.

Ok, so I use Slackware, but still...

NO!!!!

Surprising statement from a Mac person, but, I don't really hate Gates and Microsoft.

I do hate AOL Time Warner

I think they are more evil incarnate than Microsoft is.

This is not good.
