Not sure if you're implying this about Ubuntu or not, but FYI either
way.

Canonical's work on Ubuntu is broadly broken into two pieces, server and
client.  This is from the CEO on down.  There are several groups that
step between those two (really oversimplified) categories.  Personally,
I work on the Client side of the company, so anything I say will be
biased towards that.  That doesn't mean those server guys aren't working
hard to make Ubuntu a great server as well.  We also don't separate out
desktop in any meaningful way, it's all client, converged from desktop
to tablet to phone.

Red Hat has make a large wake for other Open Source companies to grow
and thrive in, especially in the enterprise markets.  It's awesome.
