Red Hat Advanced Server costs between $800 and $2,400 per server depending on the customer's need for technical support services. IBM and Red Hat will still compete on providing services after the sale, but technical support will be shared by the two companies.
Does Red Hat currently make more on technical support or services? If the latter, then they might be in trouble competing with IBM which has a huge Linux group now.

Is this a function of the fact that it is simply not possible to persuade people under the age of 40 to have anything to do with IBM Cobol and JCL ? Schools don't teach that anymore.
