Interesting thing on Slashdot while I listen to the debate: RedHat software seems to have bought Netscape's server products, including the certificate management server and the directory server. Interstingly, neither the CNet article nor the RedHat press release mention Netscape's webserver or application server.

I'm not surprised, as the webserver is somewhat stagnant and the application server was clunky and out of date years ago.

CNet reports that the deal was in the $25 million range. How sad. AOL paid billions for Netscape, then ended up knifing the baby in a thousand ways. Now divested from the browser division, and giving away the server products for $25 million, AOL seems not to want to be in the software business.
