For a company wanting to run servers and such Red Hat would still be an atractive alternative. The other free edition would probably still be the type that we are used to downloading for free and reporting bugs to Red Hat.

What I am saying is that RH won't be installed on Web Hosts which a good portion are running RH now. I would think that most will probably either head to FreeBSD or maybe Debian. That is a big market. RH is not getting any money out of it but they are getting plenty of exposure from it. Since hosting is so competitive most aren't going to fork over money to RH, they just couldn't afford it. RH is already in the Enterprise but I really do believe this move will hurt them if only because they are viewed in a bad light.
