In an effort to cut cost, AOL has contracted Linux maker of Red Hat Incorporated to update several AOL systems to the open source operating system. It is not yet known the extent to which AOL will use Linux, as this is thought to be just a trial phase. It was rumored earlier this year that AOL was in talks to buy our Red Hat.
NEW YORK--AOL Time Warner has hired software firm Red Hat Inc. to convert some of its computer systems to the open-source Linux operating system, according to sources close to talks between the two companies.
Terms of the deal were not immediately available and could simply involve support services for some portion of AOL's behind-the-scenes computer systems.
Red Hat and AOL both declined to comment. Earlier this year, AOL Time Warner quashed rumors that it was in talks to buy Red Hat.
