["Ryan Hunt" <ryan@xxxxxxxx>]

I care little about Redhat and less about AOL.. I do however care about the 
effects on the 
linux community.. With rumors of Redhat employees quiting and massive oposition 
to AOL 
buying RedHat I dont belive this will be a good thing, however everytime AOL 
has bought out 
something the people with common sence oposed it (Netscape and ICQ for 
example).. To bad it 
has no effect on the end result and AOL can and will do what it wants. Now 
weather or not AOL 
will do any good to RedHat.. I couldent care less but Im not happy watching AOL 
try to 
establish a monopoly anymore than I am watching Microsoft try to do the same...
