I think that in buying RH, they're not just buying the OS, they're buying the
business, and both the business talent as well as the technical talent.
OpenSource is a (relatively) new business model, one that not many people
have been able to make work. The folks at RH have managed to do it, and I
think that does more to make them valuable as an aqusition than anything else.

I just hope that IF this happens, that AOH doesn't f__k RH like they did
Netscape.
