Gus Robertson, Red Hat's vice president for South Asia-Pacific, wants to displace Unix and not Windows as the main enterprise OS but does the Linux vendor have what it takes?
Linux is already late in catching the desktop refresh wave in Australia, says IDC.

Red Hat has begun an effort to use its position as the dominant seller of the Linux operating system to try to smooth over a long-running divide about the look and feel of the OS.
A move by four sellers of Linux to unite behind a single version of the operating system might help those allies--and boost Linux's popularity--but it isn't likely to dent the dominance of the top dog, Red Hat.
Another year has gone by--an eternity in software-development terms--and it's time once again for PC users to ask themselves: Is Linux ready for the desktop?
