Red Hat is getting a bad rep. They have contributed more to Linux than any other distribution, ever.
Debian is adopting Anaconda. Connectiva and Mandrake have adopted RPM. Alan Cox's work on the kernel has been paid for by Red Hat for years.
On the commercial side it is Red Hat who is primarily responsible for Linux's successful entry to the enterprise.
The next time someone tells you Red Hat is the next Microsoft, or the M$ of Linux, ask them what they have done for Linux that puts them in a position to look down on the contributions of Red Hat.
