Red Hat: Growing its influence through RHX and RHN
,----[ Quote ]
| First off, in today's executive press roundtable Matthew Szulik noted
| that Red Hat now signs up 10-15,000 new customers every 90 days. That's
| a shockingly large number, especially when you consider how many of its
| major customers it loses.

| The Linux operating system that Red Hat's business is built around is
| free to share and distribute. But while it's easy to become an
| open-source distributor, it's more difficult to become expert
| enough with the stuff to make a living supporting it. Take Red
| Hat rival Novell. The Waltham, Mass.-based software company has
| struggled since moving into the open-source software business
| and positioning itself as an alternative to Red Hat, with its
| shares falling more than 35%, to $7.18 from $11.38, over the
| past three years.
