Red Hat is not the "next Redmond"

Redmond is a world wide monopoly.

RedHat is strong in the USA, SuSE in Germany (used by the government), Mandrake in France (used by the government, AFAIK) and RedFlag in China (initiated by the government, most people there, AFAIK).

And nobody knows, how strong Debian really is (as it can't be rated by 'market share').

Maybe the one or other distribution may use a different compiler as default, but also in this 'evil' case: 'use the source, Luke'.

No problem anywhere beside of Redmond, I'd say ;-)
