I like RedHat's stuff, but they're as 'bleeding edge' as I'd like to get.
They do really good work and keeping up with their latest is a good way
for me to stay abreast of where Linux is heading, but I also like COL for
for the image they're trying to project to corporate/business users...  I
think there's plenty of room in the marketplace for both companies, and
others as well..
