Red Hat Listed Among 50 Top Tech Companies

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the fashionable-headware-is-critical-at-parties dept.

Kelvin Ekston writes " Red Hat is listed among ZDNet Asia's 50 Top Tech companies 2006. It is also one of the fastest growing companies with 210.4% year on year income growth over 4 years. While almost all Linux companies grapple with the perennial question of how they can make money through software subscriptions and services rather than selling packaged boxes, Red Hat finally managed to improve credibly and match the hype with substance and show the way to do business with Linux. That's the way to go!"

    Redhat, everyone should agree, is one of the biggest players in a space we all know is growing nicely, and already has a pretty solid presence in the business space.

    Cracking the top 50 isn't surprising, or terribly newsworthy.

    That said, it's more proof that Linux® is on the radar screen, which is nice.

    Redhat tends to be the whipping boy of the Linux enthusiasts on Slashdot

    I agree, but one must keep in mind that this says far more about the character and maturity of Linux enthusiasts on Slashdot than it does about the RedHat distro.
