| In several ways, Red Hat already plays the

| contribute any content that lands in Red
| Hat Enterprise Linux, it is a win for Red
| Hat. It also behooves Red Hat to pay
| attention to CentOS's rpm repositories when
| rolling up the latest updates. As far as I
| know, Red Hat pays nothing to the CentOS
| project yet Red Hat can use CentOS as a
| product development source.

The Big Question
,----[ Quote ]
| Rob Pregoraro at the Washington Post asks
| the question, âHow can an operating system
| with those virtues, the open-source Linux,
| remain confined to a tiny minority of
| desktop and laptop computers at home? â.
| Heâs missed the mark. GNU/Linux is not
| confined to a tiny minority of computers at
| home. It may be in the USA but globally,
| GNU/Linux is on about 10% of PCs. We know
| that because Ballmer told us and that was a
| while ago. 30% of netbooks run GNU/Linux
| and almost all ARMed devices do not run
| that other OS.You can buy âno OSâ and
| GNU/Linux PCs from most OEMs and some
| retail outfits.
