Warnings to Red Hat about AOL Buyout

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

andyo from O'Reilly submitted linkage to a report he wrote over there where he urges Red Hat to think twice about letting AOL eat them. Talks about GNN, as well as Netscape. I'm sure this isn't the last word we'll hear on this subject either.

    Red Hat: "AOL, do you love me?"
    AOL: "Yes of course."
    Red Hat: "I have heard all of these nasty rumors that you are only using me for who I am and that you don't care about me at all. Is this true?
    AOL: "Perhaps...Oh wait, I mean NO! NO! Who told you such things?"
    Red Hat: "Your ex: Netscape."
    AOL: "That stupid bitch."

    If a large number of ex-Windows users get won over by AOL/RedHat Linux, have we really lost? It seems to me that a Linux user is a Linux user and that one more Linux user is one less customer for Bill and one less pocketbook supporting closed source.

    But then how am I supposed to go about bragging to all to all the winblows userz about how 31337 I am to be that k3w1 L1nUx h4x0r?!

    Shit if everyone's just as much a k3w1 L1nUx h4x0r as me then I may just have to switch to BSD so I can be a k3w1 B5D h4x0r! Oh the horror!

    I've been telling AOL to eat me for quite some time now.
