While i agree that RH needs competition, i don't see anything wrong with
RH focusing on 'mega commercial users' and its own bottom line.  Clearly
that is a business plan that works.  SuSE doesn't seem to have such a
plan.  And Fedora Core focuses on the non-mega commerical user quite
nicely, in my opinion.
