That's a good point. Redhat has been the most popular distro for a long
time now, at least in the US. I've never tried it, but lot of people seem
to like it.
More and more big commercial names are jumping on the Linux bandwagon.
They're going to rally around whatever looks like a standard. At the
moment, as far as they're concerned, that's Redhat. As the teeming hordes
desert M$ and come to Linux, they in turn will tend to go where the action
is.
Taken altogether, that amounts to a lot of momentum moving toward Redhat,
possibly at the expense of all the other distros. Is that a good thing or
a bad thing? If it's a bad thing, what can/should be done about it?
