Why the devil shouldn't they be able to sell ad space to Symantec? (I presume that's what you mean.) There's no reason in the world at all they shouldn't put up a Gnome desktop with icons offering AOL, Symantec, or Joe's Bar & Grill, so long as a) AOL et al. give them (Dell) money, and b) AOL writes a version which runs on GNU/Linux. If enough folks buy these boxes, it may become worth AOL's while. After all, Dell's got to sell to Aunt Tillie, too, if this thing's going to fly. -- Best wishes, Max Hyre
