No Red Hat-AOL Merger In The Works, Says CNET

Posted by timothy on from the sighs-of-relief-or-disappointment dept.

Several readers have submitted word (this one comes from n8twj) that "CNet News is reporting that AOL Time Warner apparently is NOT making a bid to buy Linux manufacturer Red Hat, said sources familiar with the matter."

    all of you that were so worried about RedHat being taking over by an "evil corporation" can breathe now.

  2. CNet == Lamers by chiph · · Score: 0, Troll

    Linux is a popular Unix derivative developed in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Like Windows, Linux runs on Intel-based PCs, but uses a different licensing mechanism.

    So CNet has to explain to a technical audience what Linux is.

    My only question is...
    Is it more grammatically correct to say: "CNet is a bunch of lamers", or "CNet are lamers"?
