| My take on these announcements is that Red Hat wants to take its Linux
| distribution clout far beyond the market for dedicated servers and blades at
| individual enterprises, and become the de facto industry standard for how
| hosting organizations, telecommunications providers, entertainment providers,
| and on-demand ISVs deploy all their applications over the next 10 years.

Novell.

Red Hat Sees Green
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
