  1. Redhat is good for business by Dancin_Santa · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't mean to sound like some astroturfer, but RedHat has definitely brought Linux to the fore of server operating systems.

    With the rapid decline of AIX and Solaris, Win2K and RedHat Linux are making steady gains in the server market.

    What's more, with Linux you don't need to have a server farm like NT requires, so in the long run you save your company money by choosing to go with RedHat.
