,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat is at the top of its game right now, delivering quarter after quarter
| of impressive performance despite (or, perhaps, because of) a global
| recession. But it wasn't always thus. Despite a meteoric initial public
| offering in 1999, Red Hat spent years fumbling about for a winning game plan,
| dabbling in technologies that took it far beyond its core competence in
| operating systems.
