Red Hat Red Hat announced Nov. 7 the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1, with integrated virtualization. In claims that Red Hat representatives were well aware are extremely broad reaching, they said the new release will provides the most compelling platform for customers and software developers ever, with its industry-leading virtualization capabilities complementing Red Hat's newly announced Linux Automation strategy. It offers the industry's broadest deployment ecosystem, covering stand-alone systems, virtualized systems, appliances and Web-scale 'cloud' computing environments.

You do understand that in the server/workstation world, you don't need revolutions, far from it. You need stability, low purchase and maintenance costs rock-solid security. Virtualization is also beginning to be a base-line requirement.

Being a better Unix or Windows 2K3 is a -big- deal.
Having rock solid virtualization working out of the box, (with or w/o good looking UI) is a -big- deal.

You might argue that Linux desktop is missing a killer feature... but RedHat's lunch is enterprise servers and desktops - a far cry from your desktop.
