News Comment All comments on news story: Red Hat sees no consumer desktop Linux in its future It's a reply to comment: Go RedHat! by: bim_bim  I for one would love to have RedHat concentrate on the server market. It's what they do best. There are already many distros focusing on desktop usability. If I am working in a company where scalability, security are critical factors, I would not have second thought of endorsing RedHat. Now it would be great if the server centric distros and the desktop centric distros can work together for greater ease in manageability. duh ... by: pinniped  It must be a slow news week - or is it "International Stating the Obvious Day"? Why would RedHat squander profits trying to support a 'Desktop Linux' with Joe Average as the user? Think about it - RedHat didn't make money being stupid, and 'Average Joe' uses WinDos. They're doing the right thing and concentrating on keeping their business profitable - {K}Ubuntu and a few others seem to be doing a pretty good job of being a generic desktop operating system. (And of course there are the numerous special-interest distributions - isn't that great - no one can do that sort of funky stuff with non-free software.)
