I used RedHat for years. Then when RedHat decided to charge the Earth for
their commercial product, I moved across to Fedora. Fedora is really
bleeding-edge and RedHat makes it quite clear that it is not a good choice
for a productive system.
After Fedora Core 3 I decided to move to a commercial product again. I went
to Suse. The Novell/Microsoft deal would make that a poor choice for Eric
Raymond. Given this, Ubuntu is a good choice. Ubuntu is clearly a
commercial product in the making.
