Redhat on the other hand does not have copy rights on most of the stuff. There will be many many more companies to beat redhat in near future. This is one thing that does really concernn me. Right now isn't Redhat just a glorified Software packager. They packaged Linux up too be pretty to sell, and made it more usr friendly, right...?? lets really start discussing RedHat properly, I am very interested but lets get to the facts here. $Mogul

''People link Red Hat to Linux, they don't own any aspect of Linux, but it is a way to play that market,'' said Ken Fleming, an analyst at Renaissance Capital, in Greenwich, Conn., which follows IPOs.

For its part, Microsoft has admitted that it is nervous about Linux. Last month, the Redmond, Wash.-based giant charged a team of engineers to keep an eye on Linux and to learn more about the so-called Open Source software movement, where the source code is published and free to programmers, who make changes and improvements to the software.
