Well, weather anyone here likes it or not if AOL does purchase Red Hat
combined with IBM's support behind it Linux will become more designed for
the masses, and AOL and IBM will try to market it so.
The results could become two fold. One Linux will get alot of attention, and
perhaps companies will port drivers, software, etc to Linux. Of course since
Gnopernicus is the only x-based screen reader under construction it will get
most if not all the lime light.
However, on the down side that may draw lots of attention away from other
distributions and access projects. Esentually, making Red Hat into some sort
of virtual standard for all distributions.
I guess we have to wait and see how it all shakes out.
