Red Hat In The Black for Q3

wheeeee! writes "Red Hat has posted a profit for the third quarter. Well, a meager $300 grand of actual net, but still a profit nonetheless. Their total revenue of $24.3 million was higher than expected. The cash flow appears to have been spurred by an increase in sales of RH's Advanced Server, of which 12000 were sold, compared to 8000 the previous quarter. RH says they're now following the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, developed in the wake of recent accounting troubles at some companies."

Re:so what about unitedlinux

[teg]

If Redhat is pushing (or wants to push) the linux community towards more standardisation, why don't they join the unitedlinux effort then ?


The standardization effort is LSB. "UnitedLinux" is more of a marketing tactic from Suse than a standardization effort...


If suse, caldera, conectiva and openlinux can put aside their own goals

Two of these, caldera (openlinux is a product of them) and TurboLinux, are dead companies (as far as Linux development goes... their developers are gone). This isn't four companies pooling their efforts, this is SuSE desperately trying to counter Red Hat and signing up dead/severely hurting companies and give the impression of something more.

You know how many times I heard these "Redhat is getting too big" comments since the 90's? Linux is free, GPL, and can't be "owned" by any vendor including Microsoft or Redhat. I'll tell you what I think on this...*?#!$@*!! up about it,and stop bringing it up!
