Even if Linux takes off (it's already taking off - so it's something that IS happening) and if Red Hat is the one that leads the way, then why would Debian have to go away?
People would/will still use Debian for the same reasons they use it now. Not only is it a better learning experience for a newbie, but it also has a lot of other positive qualities that many of us appreciate. I, for one, would like to see non-free removed. You can find non-free packages elsewhere rather easily.
Debian is special and has a meaning. Not everyone wants to use a commercial distribution like Red Hat. Choice is good.
