RedHat is a pretty small % of total linux installations. I think you're reaching a bit with this general line of argumentation.

Mark Shuttleworth of Ubuntu is no less an executive than Matt Hicks if you'd rather use that distro instead.

Mozilla has a CEO, and arguably if they paid better they'd have a better one at the helm.

In fairness to your point - Ubuntu is a very, very strange company with wildly absurd hiring practices. Ubuntu + RedHat sells your position well.

Of course we should acknowledge that there are many viable Linux distributions out there which aren't part of bloated dysfunctional organizations. But I do fear for Linux itself after Torvalds.
