“Red Herring released the prediction of the five main Linux
distributions that will be leaders in their working areas. Among
them is Conectiva, leader in South America.”
“Approximately 140 distribution companies exist across the
globe. We believe all but the top five will be bought, will go out
of business, or will be relegated to insignificance. Market-share
leaders are currently defined around geographic boundaries. Red Hat
has the largest global brand recognition and leading North American
market share, SuSE leads in Europe, Turbolinux leads in Asia, and
Conectiva leads in South
America.”
