Haven't you seen the rumors? Red Hat is being acquired by America Online
Memory (AOM). All of our applications will now consume massive amounts
of memory as a matter of company policy.
So, please buy an extra gigabyte or so of RAM. It will make us very happy.
Remember, all AOM RAM comes with a shiny installation CD complete with
100 hours of free memory access.
