Ubuntu to Bring About Red Hat's Demise?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday August 1, 2006 @11:25PM from the straight-from-the-tea-leaves dept.

Tony Mobily has written a thought-provoking editorial for Free Software Magazine that makes the bold prediction of Red Hat's eventual demise at the hands of Mark Shuttleworth and Ubuntu. Calling on memories of Red Hat alienating their desktop user base to focus on their corporate customers and making money, Mobily states that many of those alienated desktop users are also system administrators who now feel more comfortable with Ubuntu and will make the choice to use Ubuntu Server over Red Hat now and in the future.

I noticed ubuntu.com/server wasn't coming up... I'm guessing their own server didn't survive.

They must have started their Slackware server - it's working now.

Stuff like that happens when you alienate the little people - they're the ones influencing the decisions.
