That is a good decision from a conceptual point of view. Buy may be a bad one froma pragmatic marketing view. Currently RH is *the* reference implementation which guarantees market share and visibility, closely followed by SuSE. Provided SuSE continues to sell its boxed set as well as its enterprise version, both with a defined relationship, they might be able to become *the* reference platform and United Linux might get reanimated.
