Red Hat is just a distribution, it's got little or nothing to do with the general evolution of linux or open source.
There's a zillion audio tools for linux and a DSP program called Ardour is showing some promise.

Not just a distribution - the most widely used one today.
Did you hear RedHat's quote when someone asked what are the alternatives? "Try Windows" was their response.

IM GONNA GO OUT ON A LIMB HERE
as i know a lot of people in the computer industry i'm gonna go out on a limb here and state linux WILL DOMINATE in the future.
Its just a question of WHEN, and my reasoning is as follows ::
1. large computer manufacturers are investing billions in Linux R n D.
2. Linux is FINALLY getting mature and very usable.
3. Many large orgs and big companies are installing linux including governments who want to achieve big license fee savings.
BUT the most iinteresting aspect of why large technical organisations are turning to linux according to my information is::
4. They can get into the internals of linux OS distros at the source
code level and implement performance enhancements which they cant do otherwise. For example they can put linux on a big mainframe and on their PC networks and achieve interoperability and seamless integration.
All this activity and investment of billions should have spill overs into the pro audio market. Already we are seeing signs of this.
RME and some other sound card vendors work under Linux.
My call - by 2008/9 Linux will be a huge force to be reckoned with.
You can all call me an idiot then if you wish !
