Well....it certainly brings up an interesting situation.

On one hand, there's LOTS to do, and the more people to do it the
better, as long as we're somewhat coordinated.  And we can swipte the
RedHat/GNOME GUI for our own use, which I immagine we'll be doing.

On the other hand, if there are two distributions vying to become the
"ultimate" operating system, it might give Linux a bad name.

Also remember that RedHat has no incentive to provide free things like
office suites - after all, they sell ApplixWare.  So if we can put
together a good set of usefull office apps, we'll have an advantage.

Overall, I think it's a Good Thing.....as long as we be careful, and
cooperate whenever we can.
