Red Hat's new deal will see RHEL AI 1.2 shipping preinstalled on a $29,000 AI-focused server from Lenovo.
It's become clear to many that Red Hat's recent missteps with CentOS and the availability of RHEL source code indicate that it's fallen from its respected place as "the open organization." SUSE seems to be poised to benefit from Red Hat's errors. We connect the dots.
