Operating systems? The future of operating systems is LINUX. I was at a DC area LINUX users group meeting once at which RedHat reps were asked point blank if there would be linux ports for the Mac and they said, to the best of their knowledge, nobody in the LINUX world was interested in Macs.

While "RedHat reps" may be disinterested, the O'Reilly Network has taken a keen interest in both the UNIX underpinnings and the Open Source portion, and has dedicated space on its site to that end.

Actually, there IS a MAC distribution: Yellow Dog. However, Red Hat doesn't have one, so it doesn't suprise me that they wouldn't know of one... Interestingly enough, there is a Red Hat distribution out for IBM Mainframes now!
