<H3>Sources: AOL not bidding for Red Hat</H3>
On Saturday, the Washington Post reported that the media giant was near to cutting a deal with Red Hat in a competitive strike against Microsoft.
Sources familiar with the situation emphatically insisted the two companies are not near an acquisition deal, nor have they discussed one.

On one hand getting joe sixpack to use Linux is a step further but on the other Red Hat won't get fucked over.

Linux is moving farther along than you can think. A lot of user-friendly tools have been implemented as well. For example Suse has something called Yast. You start it up and choose what programs you want(and Suse will give you a very nice selection) to download or update. Linux is making a lot of headway which is why Microsoft is rolling out .NET to keep a control of its marketplace.

<font size="3">AOL's Netscape Seeks Damages From Microsoft</font>
By Jeremy Pelofsky
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - AOL Time Warner Inc. sued Microsoft Corp. on Tuesday for damage done to its Netscape Internet browser by violations of antitrust law found in a separate government case against the software giant.
The 20-page lawsuit said the once-dominant Netscape, bought by AOL in 1999, suffered from Microsoft's unfair promotion of its Internet Explorer browser, which now tops the market.
A U.S. appeals court in June upheld findings in the U.S. Justice Department (news - web sites)'s case against Microsoft that the company illegally used its monopoly in personal computer operating systems to maintain its dominance.
``Netscape's lawsuit is a logical extension of the findings entered by the District Court and unanimously affirmed by the Court of Appeals that Microsoft thwarted competition, violated the antitrust laws and illegally preserved its monopoly at Netscape's expense,'' AOL General Counsel Randall J. Boe said in a statement.
The rest is at Yahoo
