It is official.
Netcraft confirms: RedHat is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered RedHat distribution community when IDC confirmed that RedHat market share has dropped yet again, now down to less
than a fraction of 1 percent of all Linux distribution versions. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that RedHat has lost more market share, this news serves
to reinforce what we've known all along. RedHat is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by falling dead last in a recent Linux distribution study.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict RedHat's future. The hand writing is on the wall: RedHat faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for RedHat because
RedHat is dying. Things are looking very bad for RedHat. As many of us are already aware, RedHat continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
RedHat Fedora is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike
Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt:
RedHat is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
RedHat Fedora project leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of Fedora. How many users of RedHat Enterprise are there? Let's see. The number of RedHat Fedora versus RedHat
Enterprise posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 RedHat Enterprise users. RedHat Fedora posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of
RedHat Enterprise posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of RedHat Fedora. A recent article put RedHat Fedora distribution at about 80 percent of the market. Therefore there are
(7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 RedHat Fedora users. This is consistent with the number of RedHat Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of half-baked RedHat apps, abysmal sales and so on, many development companies is going out of business and will probably be taken over by another company
who will sell another troubled product. Now RedHat is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that RedHat has steadily declined in market share. RedHat is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If RedHat is to survive at all it will be among
dilettante dabblers. RedHat continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, RedHat is dead.
