So I get myself a Blade100 and belly up for updates and I get 5.2 and am wondering where is this headed anyway and who is going to pay for my next meal. I'm tired of denefestration while in search of some usable pillow for the weary head whose want is relible code(ing) (s) sh@.
I never really knew the general lack of clarity governing the vision by which so very many of the/. readers live. The single largest corporate communications monopoly on this planet is going to purchase one of the original strongholds of open source, copy-left code. The only reason the AOL/Time Warner merger did not come under the scrutiny of the Department of Justice during that current administration is because there was an astronomical amount of money 'given' to the Democratic Party and, as Fidel Castro himself put it, "the Clinton Mafia". At present the AOL browser is the most useless piece of garbage and yet enjoys a popularity reserved exclusively for the vast herds of mindless cattle that the Advertising World has created. "Give the people what they want", has zero meaning to these herdsmen. They very carefully decide what you will want and when you will want it. The, to date, unheard of power that the AOL/Time Warner monopoly wields evidences itself in the childlike observations made in this discussion. People are at the point where quite nearly all decisions are being made for them before birth and to think that the general attitude of the/. reader is anything less than outrage at the possibility of this proposed buy out is a terrible fright. Red Hat is the US Military's number one choice for the revamping of all interdepartmental communications, not to mention other agencies.

These are primarily based on Red Hat. Do a quick search on 'Red Hat' at http://www.fcw.com and read of the presence and potential impact of AOL/Time Warner's latest planned conquest.
AOL is not the easiest to use, as advertised. The public (a.k.a. cattle) has simply heard this so many times now that they are bound by a sense of self-preservation to believe it lest the guilt of being branded either upstart or idiot consumes their sense of self worth. Take any person who might become a computer user and start them off on any of the current distributions of Linux you can readily find, for free, and then try to sell me on how it requires a great degree of technical proficiency to make it workstation feasible.
This isn't a free society for citizens who get all of their news, entertainment, and Information Technology from one corporate entity.

Currently, 80 cents of every dollar is spent on what has been 'sold' to the consumer. The remaining 20 cents go to the actual goods or services. That is the AOL/Time Warner way and it is horrible to think of any Linux being in the same bed with these rapists.
