Comment Why Redhat (Score 1) 1053
It appears to me there are many valid reasons to pick RedHat:
1) RedHat IS paying $2 million for this project, and is one of the 5 companies spear heading this.
2) You can't afford to call up apple / microsoft and say 'hey remember that OS you gave me free? can you please spend time getting this to work for me?'
3) I'm sure the Develops WILL recompile the kernel, and make it just for the laptop in particular. Probably configure everything, and then take an image of the hard disk
4) IIRC, applications like apt, synaptic, yum, yumex can be easily ported to whatever verson of RH they are running, and RedHat still runs the repositories
5) Mac OS / Windows tend to be rather resource hogging compared to Linux (esp with recompiled kernel). Remember, this hardware won't be top of the line
6) Using a GPLed product like Linux ensures that the OS STAYS free, and you will never have to pay / activate the OS / Do any work at all.
