The Boston Globe reports here

http://www.globe.com/dailyglobe2/019/business/AOL_reportedly_in_talks_to_acquire_distributor_of_Microsoft_rival_system+.shtml

and on the front page of the business section of today's print edition, that
a rumor says that AOL/Time-Warner is in discussions to buy Red Hat Software.
All companies involved declined comment, so no-one has denied it at this
point.

  I find this interesting, to say the least.

  On the one hand, AOL has been funding the Mozilla project for years now,
and Mozilla has really become a top-notch browser at this point.

  On the other hand, AOL's Internet service, at best, sucks, and the
Time-Warner people are noted for being heavily behind such hell-spawn
acronyms as the DMCA, the RIAA, and the MPAA.

  Anyone else care to speculate on this?  :-)
