[oclug] AOL embraces Linux and Mozilla

It's about AOL using Mozilla (or at least the gecko rendering engine) in
version 8 of its browser. It also talks about them switching many of
their servers to Linux.

Favorite quote:
"AOL number-crunchers figure they can replace an $80,000 box running
proprietary UNIX with two $5,000 Linux boxes and get a 50% increase in
performance in addition to the cost savings. 'Don't tell our
competitors,' on of our AOL contacts says. 'Let them keep buying
expensive crap.'"
