AOL/TimeWarner is apparently in negotiations to buy Red Hat.
That would sure be interesting. But why would they buy a linux distro? A content company? Doesn't make any sense. They should buy a BSD distro (or just make their own) and then lock everything down. Of course I'd be happy if they went with Linux.
Sounds like Doc's "very wise friend" might be on the right track: ...the whole thing [buyout rumors] is just a ruse to extract better licensing terms from Microsoft for Windows Media or something..."
