Shadowed, re: Microsoft of Linux. "Red Hat, as the most successful Linux distributor, has faced the most heat even before the IPO announcement. It has become fashionable for some Linux fans to describe Red Hat as 'the Microsoft of Linux.' They don't mean it as a compliment. For example, longtime Linux user and system administrator, Phillip R. Jaenke, speaks for many who deplore Linux's commercialization, when he says: 'RedHat never cared about users. They never will. They want money. So they make an IPO.'" There seems to be a lot of backlash in the Linux community about Red Hat, judging from the article you posted. How do you think that will affect Red Hat's future? If they can't get the best Linux developers and support people, they don't have much of one IMO.
