Agreed Redhat has been mimicing the Microsoft Naming of it's products as
in "Windows Advanced Server" etc for a while I suppose they know the chunk
of market they want and are trying to confuse the suits that will be
paying for it into buying the product.

Personally I find the move away from the base linux tools toward
Redhat/Mandrake/Suse badged tools and interfaces is creating a bunch of
"this or that release only" style users. But I suppose that is what
economic reality is doing to the Linux OS producers as they try to corale
their user base toward product and name brand loyalty.
