"Open source in general, along with the enterprise market, continues to fare very
well. If you asked me 10 years ago, I'd think it was an area that showed some
interest. At this point it has become a business of some US$8 billion, and is a model that
has proven itself. I don't see that slowing down any time soon."

"There are a number of reasons why open source has gotten good enough and has proven
itself as a business model. More and more IT managers are aware of the benefits of open

" In terms of the Fedora desktop, I think we offer quite a bit more choice to people.
Think in terms of the number of desktop choices we offer. Consider that if somebody in the
Fedora community wants to add to those choices, we are supportive of that interest. We
will do that. We are not dictating from on high. We don't focus on "Thou shalt
have" and "Thou shalt not have." We are definitely a distribution that is
focused on freedom."
