Why Linux is not very popular?
I answer this question with love becaus (tear) I use Linux on my desktop. Linux is not very popular because it is hard to use for most people and has poor, even non-existant marketing. Also, Microsoft has agreements with most computer manufacturers to install Windows prior to its sale, so it would require additional knowledge and effort for consumers to pick out a Linux distribution. In markets other than Desktop PC's, however, Linux is fairly popular. If you own a Tivo, a multimedia device, some cell-phones, and other computerized equipment, it is likely that you are running Linux on those devices. Linux is also 'popular' in server environments because it has excellent server software.
What is the main difference in between redhat Linux and fedora Linux?
The term "main difference" is vague and subject to interpretation. I'll try to list a couple of what some folks consider "notable" differences. 1) Redhat Linux is normally purchased and various levels of support are also available for purchase. Fedora Linux is free (free as in beer as the saying goes). 2) Redhat Linux contains some features/enhancements not necessarily found in Fedora Linux or CentOS Linux - mostly these features are designed for enterprise environments. Hope this helps.

How do you replace the Ubuntu 10 04 LTS Server kernels and server content with a Ubuntu Desktop 10 04 kernel and programs while keeping all my games programs and customization intact?
The Linux kernels are interchangeable between Ubuntu desktops and Ubuntu servers.The difference between a Linux server and Linux desktop is primarily the tasks that are running and the way the machine is configured (eg a desktop may be configured for DHCP while a server would probably be configured with static addressing).Unlike some commercial, proprietary operating systems, graphics, mouse, keyboard and other devices do not usually have device support compiled into modern Linux kernels, rather these drivers are loadable, removable modules which can be automatically and/or manually loaded or removed (see the man page for the 'lsmod' command).There was once a time when it was sometimes necessary to manually add device support to Linux kernels and then re-compile and re-link the kernel but this is rarely needed in modern Linux kernels. I don't think I've needed to re-compile and re-link a Linux kernel in at least 10 or more years - probably closer to 15 years.If you feel you must actually replace your kernels to switch your machine from a 'server' to a 'desktop', simply install your desired distro from scratch. Personally, if I were to decide I want a 'desktop environment' in my server, I would just start up a window manager and desktop as well as any desktop components I want to be available, then I would have a desktop Linux machine that is also running as a server at the same time. A desktop and server are essentially the same thing in the Linux world, the only real differences being the services and tasks that are running. *Shrug*

What is use of red hat Linux?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is most commonly used for servers, but some high-end workstations often use it as well. The "enterprise" means that this particular Linux distribution is designed primarily for business use. Red Hat (The company.) also has a desktop variant of Red Hat called "Fedora." It is geared for home users, and it is also where some of the more "experimental" desktop technologies come from, such as PulseAudio and systemd.
How do you remote a Linux system to a Linux system over the internet using Remote Desktop in Linux?
There are several ways to do this. Some distributions of Linux, like Ubuntu, have remote desktop capabilities built-in (in the Applications/Internet and System/Preferences menus, Remote Desktop Viewer and Remote Desktop, respectively). There are other ways, such as VNC, TurboVNC, and my personal favorite, NX server. If you use FreeNX and an NX client, like NoMachine's, you can get instant speed access to your Linux machine remotely from Windows, OS X (Universal), and any Linux distribution, since they have multiple-architecture source code. FreeNX has a repository, and NoMachine's website provides a client. If you're interested in running 3d applications remotely, look into VirtuaGL, which works with both TurboVNC and FreeNX. Another option for local use is LTSP.
