Update: It is not quite a Desktop deployment but a POS Desktop one but it is still pretty cool

An interesting little article turned up on zdnet. It is light on details but perhaps some Fedora people can shed light on the deployment. I often read in comments around the internet that Red Hat hasn’t done anything for Desktop Linux which sometimes hurts given the amount of time and thought I have personally put into making the Linux Desktop kick major butt along with the huge amount of work I see all my colleges put in every day on Fedora and GNOME. The real reward comes seeing people use the software successfully.

But it is not just Red Hat that contributes to the success. I joined the Red Hat Desktop during the release period of Fedora Core 2 and I have just seen the community grow in leaps an bounds. They contribute a huge amount and are often unsung. Also the GNOME community, of which I have been a part of since before the 1.0 days, just provides such a great environment for collaboration. The truth is any time any distro is deployed from one computer to a million and beyond, we all win. Eyes on the prize; we are getting better every day but there is still a long way to go and we need the diversity FOSS gives us to figure out different ways to spread deployments even further.
