AOL in Negotiations to Buy Red Hat Linux. Cam says, "Think about how easy it would be for AOL to distribute an AOL-customized version of Linux with an AOL-customized version of Mozilla (Netscape 6) all on a single CD, along with a mail client (an AOL-customized version of Netscape Mail) and AOL Instant Messenger. All of a sudden, AOL is free of Microsoft's tentacles. By shipping a unified OS, web browser, email client and IM client, AOL is going down the same path Microsoft has been going down for some time now."
