Does Red Hat???s exit now leave the desktop Linux field open to Ubuntu?
Red Hat was never really in the desktop field to begin with, and has stated so rather pointedly on many occasions, so I don't see how the answer can be anything but no. SuSE is the other major player on the desktop, and always has been.
