Red Hat's business model
An open source software and applications expert says that Red Hat has nothing to fear from free Linux distros; reliability and certainty are the cornerstones of its commercial support.
Red Hat sells reliability and certainty about a collection of programs, not the collection itself. While there are a multitude of Linux distros available for no fee, not all of them come with certified apps, support, etc. I don't think Red Hat is particularly worried about competition from free Linux distros.
