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.

Well, between Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, and this new "advanced mission critical" program, I don't really see where the Red Hat community has left any bases uncovered. They seem to have everything covered from "EAT YOUR BRANE" to "I'm totally constipated" in their server line up.Edited 2008-11-20 22:39 UTC Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:36:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (sbergman27) Comments
