“Bob Young, Red Hat’s co-founder and chief executive officer
(CEO), told Newsbytes the investments represent growing momentum

“Newsbytes notes Red Hat has become widely recognized as the top
US distributor of Linux, although distributions by SuSE, in Europe,
and TurboLinux by Pacific Hi Tech in Japan and Asia, claim top
distributor status outside the US. In a recent LinuxWorld survey,
74 percent of about 4,000 respondents cited Red Hat as the most
recognized Linux vendor.”
