Though the whole point of "Red Hat Linux" was to make the great unwashed
brand aware of Linux and that brand was Red Hat. This would make Red
Hat, Inc. worth a lot of money (I think it's all time high was about $90
a share).
To be a little off topic, since Linux comes packaged with so much
freeware or GPL'ed software, one begins to assume that they are part of
Linux. Now that Solaris is free (and Open Sourced) I expect to see
distros of "everything but the OS itself" for Solaris.
Since RPM was ported to Solaris a long time ago, maybe even:
"Red Hat Environment for Solaris" (Solaris is a TM of SUN and not included.)
