Red Hat is how many years older? and it's the first on the market.
RedHat as a company is 2 years younger then the old S.u.S.E. GmbH. RedHat published it's first very own Distribution in 1994, SuSE in 1994 with a modified Slackware release, so I doubt you can single down impact or expertise on age in business... Do fact checking before trying to score a point.
While on that, Red Hat has left the Desktop market years ago. Afaik they don't have any desktop OEM deals (unlike Novell) so when it comes to the Desktop my guess would be that Novell is probably the biggest out there. Red Hat is bigger on servers, yes, that's where it makes its $$$. Novell is working on that :D Btw this has gone off-topic enough, maybe we should go back focussing on the strategic discussion?
