You may not have it wrong. I suspect that RH will move away from the 
individual user and the desktop as it concentrates more on the 
enterprise --- they've certainly said as much over the past few months.

Which will leave a HUGE gap (RH is about 50% of US distro usage) for 
someone to fill, maybe Mandrake.

Or, unless the Linux community countersues SCO to offset its FUD and 
begins winning the war of public opinion, FreeBSD.
