27.10.2006Red Hat to offer whitebox Linux desktops globally
The world's largest Linux
vendor Red Hat will release a
pre-installed desktop version
of Linux globally in
September. The new Red Hat
desktop targeting primarily
small business users will be
available on cheap whitebox
Intel PCs and, according to
Red Hat, will not try to be a
Windows clone.
The new Linux desktop
platform, called Red Hat
Global Desktop, has been
announced on
Red Hat's
site and promises that the
desktop will have wide global
distribution through Intel's
channel of white box system
builders.
The Red Hat strategy
contrasts markedly with
Dell's push to offer Ubuntu
Linux to consumers on some of
its desktop and notebook
models in a limited release to
the US market. Red Hat is not
targeting consumers but small
business users and local
government agencies who want
to keep the cost of hardware

23.09.2008Red Hat Rated Best Overall IT Vendor
For the fifth year, CIO Insight polled IT executives on how well their major vendors deliver business value, reliability and quality. This year's
winner? The No. 1 vendor? None other than Linux distributor Red Hat. Perhaps even more impressive than Red Hat beating such name brand companies as
Google and Hewlett-Packard was that Red Hat also earned a remarkable 97 percent loyalty rating. In other words, 97 percent of Red Hat's customers
plan on continuing to do business with Red Hat in the future. Oracle, which is doing its best to snatch Red Hat's business away from it with its
Oracle Unbreakable Linux, should keep well in mind.
How does Red Hat win the hearts and minds of its corporate customers? A close look at
how IT executives evaluated Red Hat and the other vendors shows us that where Red Hat really stood out above the rest was in how its products met
expectations for lowering costs and meeting commitments on time and on budget.

17.02.2009Red Hat, Novell sued for patent infringement
In this sue-happy world, it was only a matter of time before Linux became a target. A company has dared to declare a patent infringement against not
one, but two Linux vendors.
IP Innovation and Technology Licensing Corporation are suing Red Hat and Novell for patent infringement in
three similar patents including US Patent No. 5,072,412 for a "User Interface with Multiple Workspaces for Sharing Display System Objects"
issued December 10, 1991. According to the plaintiffs, Red Hat and Novell are deliberately and wilfully infringing on the patents since they were
previously notified of the infringement and continue to sell the Red Hat Linux system, the Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, and the Novell SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server, according to the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.
