I'm not certain what you mean by "absorbtion of a number of established users" - I really doubt you'd see many Linux users switch to using AOL as their ISP just because AOL bought Red Hat. Or did you mean something else? Of course, both of you (and myself) already support them since we're using Time Warner's Road Runner service. I haven't looked at the market capititalization of Red Hat or AOL-TW's cash on hand, but it wouldn't surprise me if they could pay cash for Red Hat at this point in time if they wanted. The real issue is, _if_ they do buy it: how/will Red Hat change? I'm willing to wait and see rather than saying now that I need to find a new distribution.
