Quite frankly, I don't care if they succeed or not. The only thing I care about is whether such a venture will impact the choices that I now have in building/buying/using Linux.

Supposedly, their target is the server-space sector where currently RedHat is leading.

As I can see, the distro with fastest growth rate is now Mandrake, not RH.

why not? the companies might emalgamate and chop 3/4s of their work force, but sure. It'll work.
