Standard doesn't mean better, if you are not convinced have a look at Windoze.
I really agree with you , maybe redhat it's the standard but from my experience isn't the best. The truth is that RH 5.2 has lost appeal to me and I rather use RH 5.1 or some derivation of it than the last 5.2. And as you say Standard doesn't mean better, I think it does mean, old, less able, minimun and this is to my taste incompatable with best or high performance.
When did RH become the standard? From what I've seen they deviated from the file structure standards (am I wrong here?) I think the reason they are being thought of as the standard is only because they seem to be more in the lime-light than the other distro's here in America because of the various companies putting money into RH and the various press stories about them always popping up.
Rh hasn't been a official standard for anything, but It's a real one when you see companies makin' it's products with rh in minf (oracle,interbase,db2...). Also rh is probably the most used linux distro by now, in spain sure its and the same for USA. If that's not a de facto standard windows isn't a monopoly.
