Linux Inc? LOL, Red Hat and Novell are both dropping like a rock on the stock market if you haven't noticed, been going on for months check it yourself. Red Hat down another 4% today already, the stock was $30 last summer and is now down to $10, with no end in sight.
Apparently business is good but not good enough to justify trees that grow to the sky.
Did you read the article?
RedHat and Novell are only two flavors of Linux. I personally use Debian and things seem to be fine in my camp. Just a reminder, not everything needs to make money in order to be good. Check out Debian and I garuantee you'll never go back to Windows again. Or if your feeling ambitious, grab the hurd.
Not to be too pedantic, but you need a different figure of speech. No end in sight? Zero is an obvious end in sight.
