aol os?

22 January 2002

camworld comes up with a hideous twist on the aol buying red hat front:

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. though to be fair this could go the other way and be something entirely open and non hideous too, but that’s not the first idea that springs into my mind, i obviously don’t trust aol any more than i trust microsoft.
