Could it be that he wasn't assigning all of Linux to Red Hat, but saying that of the dominant players in the OS game, you have MS Windows, Sun Solaris, and Red Hat Linux.
I think he is atleast arguably right. I would venture to say that a large majority of your Linux users buy it *gasp* out of the Red Hat box.
Alot of the 'free thinkers' and 'free software' guys are really going to hate this, but Red Hat is the first company to put a face on Linux for the general public. There will be many who associate the two as mutually dependant. They aren't, he didn't say they were.
Red Hat is the most prolific distro of Linux and will be the only one really garnering any attention from Sun and MS. Get used to it.
