Linux companies including Red Hat are still fixated on Linux as merely a replacement for Unix, and trying to grab the low hanging fruit of Sun migrations. I'm afraid that isn't going to last forever, and unless Red Hat, especially Novell, and others expand into other areas where they face competitive threats, and by that I mean Windows Server, then the long-term prognosis does not look healthy.
