remember the days when the naysayers said you couldn't build a viable
business model centered around open-source software? After Red Hat's 2nd quarter report,
well, insert(&mouth, FOOT); is all I have to say. Okay, okay, the
hubris of a Linux zealot aside, the numbers look pretty good. Revenue
for the quarter was $28 million, with net income at $3 million. You'd
think SCO's blathering would have damaged them, but they're actually up
the last couple of quarters after posting some net losses in previous
quarters." Kudos to Red Hat. They must be doing something right. |
