bought SuSE the results were not so bad.
As to Linux in the public market, it could be good for
Linux in
administrations, they would like the IBM backing.
It's interesting to me that anyone would bother to do so. IBM has been
an explicit Linux contributor and beneficiary for a long time. All
flavors run on IBM hardware quite well, a mutually beneficial
relationship.
Hopefully some brain-dead MBA won't get it into his head to try to
make "special" drivers so RedHat works better on IBM systems than
other flavors. Bad, bad, bad idea.
However I never liked Red Hat that much, so the
question for me is rather what
effect it will have on Gnome and systemd dominance.
One can hope systemd dies utterly.
