RedHat being bought out by AOL? Tell me it isn't so...

Just like the day RedHat IPO'd, I don't know quite what to think of this one... I did send a nasty note to AOL quite some time ago because you could only use their service if you had a Winblows box, but I didn't think they would buy out RedHat in response to my angry note!  

voidmain:
Well we'll see if it really happens.  I personally don't think it will. The nice thing about it is, if they do get bought out by AOL, I can just switch to Debian and keep on truckin.  Another nice thing is instead of all those AOL users running MS/IE they'll be running RH/NS.  It will also mean all those crappy web sites out there who are only friendly to IE will have to change their coding or lose business. Yes!!

NESnerd:
My friend told me about this today. He made it sound like they already did though, so I'm hoping they don't because...you know, it's AOL.

AOL has completely denied this:
