I believe you're right. and I believe other vendors will do the same. But it still could be a good market for a small group. Perhaps a group basing their distribution on Fedora, perhaps on Debian. But the key will not be anything we discuss here or on other "techie" or "geek" lists. The key will be getting the distribution. And that's the hard part. What about (as just one example) small to medium size hosting companies? Fifty servers, at $60/server/year for something akin to RHN? $3000/year. This business will NOT go to even a $200 distribution. Certainly someone wants this kind of business. (Note, this is NOT a solicitation to buy a product <smile>.)
