Then he's just talking arse (Job's that is). Apple may be the biggest 
distributor of "new systems with a *nix pre-installed", but then thats 
only really between Apple and Sun (and HP up until last year?). Redhat 
& co. don't make computers (ydl do - but they don't make stupid 
statements (they do however make cool systems)).
The question is why does he care so much - there are << 5% Porch('a :) 
drivers on the rd, but thats not worrying them.
