They can only be smarter than RedHat.  Dropping the desktop is my 
candidate for dumbest bean counting business move of 2003.  Glad to see 
it though, Redhat is using its distro to market leverage against 
reiserfs and in favor of ext3, and there went the leverage just as 
reiser4 gets ready to ship, yeah!  If the users get to choose, reiser4 
will just blow ext3 away, the performance advantages are that dramatic.
