Interesting. Looks like Red Hat is getting itself out of the free software "business". Not much profit to made in giving stuff away. Go figure.
No. Keep wishing. RedHat is focusing on Linux for the server market, were they do very well. They also do consulting and custom solutions. RedHat is not closing it's doors, or leaving Linux.
RedHat spun off the desktop into Fedora so they wouldn't 'water down' the Red Hat name. They understood that they had the most recognized name in Linux. They went for the money, and RedHat is an enterprise only distribution now. Perhaps you're surprised by Linux types going for the cash, but believe it or not, we're not all RMS.
Part of the thinking (or at least the press releases) in the Fedora move a few years back was to have Fedora be R&D and less stable. More appropriate to innovate in the desktop area than the server space. Once code in Fedora was deemed mature, it would make it's way into RedHat Enterprise Linux.
The rumors are that the development pipe between RedHat and Fedora hasn't been as smooth as hoped, and this is a step to fix the problem.
