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.
