Appears all the free finished products are gone

Looks like if you want a finished product there will no longer be free supported ones available. There appears to be no difference between Sun, Red Hat and SUSE except in the server area you can choose the Sun kernel over the Linux flavors.

With regards to desktops, looks like it is all going to be pay or no play. Unless you are a computer hobby type and build your own. I will probably switch to Sun Java Desktop for my small business customers because of cost vs Red Hat Enterprise WS. In beta testing Sun looks really good.

I never have understood why Linux development is so focused on the server when the desktop is where most(in numbers) users want to use it. A secure simple cheap alternative to windoze which runs on reasonable hardware is so badly needed.
