      Why Is Red Hat Abandoning Linux for PCs?
      What about reading that statement (www.press.redhat.com/2.../) again?

      What's so difficult to understand on "as a public, for-profit company, Red Hat must create products and technologies with an eye on the bottom line, and with desktops this is much harder to do than with servers."? There just are no money in selling Linux on desktop for customers? I hear about Ubuntu zillion times -- how much money Ubuntu make on desktops? How many employees they can pay from this profit? Oh, they have no sales and no profit. Hmm, strange.

      Red Hat is not paid by one billionaire, but it is a for-profit company with shareholders. And BTW the fact they Red Hat doesn't have customer oriented desktop, doesn't mean it has no desktop at all -- business gladly pay for support of it (not in the amount as they pay for servers, sure).
