Red Hat's quarterly results

Wow, it really _is_ possible to make a profit from a "broken" business model! Does this mean the recession is over?

It's not exactly a stunning profit (yet), but Red Hat's business model is
very sound. Large corporate customers want Linux but don't have the
confidence / knowledge / time to maintain it themselves. Red Hat offers
knowledgable people who go into these large clients and deploy, support and
develop Linux solutions. Clients are happy because they still save money
and are freed from the clutches of an agressive monopoly. Red Hat makes
money. Seems sound to me.

Rich.
