Also, while the government may be focusing on RHEL that's certainly not the

running Ubuntu server exclusively, but they tend to be newer companies
(some of them very large).
people (including RedHat management) forget that the way Red Hat got it's foot
in the datacenter door is that it's what people were using at home, so when
their toy implementation grew (or they needed a cheap Unix-like OS) they used
what they were familiar with.
Red Hat exited the home user space, and while Fedora maintains some semblence of
a presense there, it's really not suitable for server use (rapid upgrade cycle +
bleeding edge features, nobody can make that work well all the time)
Since so many people use Ubuntu, it's no surprise to see it start showing up in
the datacenter, the only surprise is that it's taken so long
