Why would people want to get VPC w/ Red Hat? I can think of a few reasons...
1) Red Hat is not available for Macs at all. Yes you can get LinuxPPC, but Red Hat is pretty much the "corporate" distro. You know, the one your PHB has heard of...
2) To install LinuxPPC you need to repartition the hard drive. For VPC, just create a new HD image file, and you can format it till the sun don't shine, while your files stay safe. Great for people who "just wanna have a look at that linux thing."
And Connectix includes customized drivers for video and NIC (at least for VPC w/ Windows) which make the simulated PC box run at reasonable speed. What Connectix should do now is to make whatever drivers they make for VPC w/ RH available for other VPC owners so we can go install RH ourselves.
