Hi Brett
I'm inclined to agree with you - Whilst linux is a viable and potentially atractive OS for a corporate user who would have inhouse IT support. Linux is ill suited to the moronic mass market unlike Windows. IF AOL is making moves to buy RH, I doubt very much if it is for the desktop expertise, more likely it would be for web services and hosting. I would predict that AOL would pull the plug on most of the distro development along with allowing free downloads for all - Probably pushing it in to a fee based area in order to generate some revenue.
Regards, Paul.

Cough, well, you see, Red Hat is probably one of the better selling distros, and is probably making a touch of profit... AOL buy them out, they have a ready made distro with developers, they have an already marketed product, and they can fuck that product up (scuse language, I'm subtle like that).
That and AOL seem to want to take over the world...
Cheers,
