All,

I've just read this piece of news. Excellent! North Carolina's biggest 
Linux company makes money. Who said that you cannot make money out of 
OpenSource?

And they make money following the GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting 
Principles). That is, with real numbers, unlike Enron and others.

I'm very glad that Red Hat is doing so well. This sends good messages 
about Linux to the PHBs that still doubt. Maybe now they will be 
confident in using software from a *gasp* money-making corporation :P

Anyway, at my work we go Linux and OpenSource. Yes, we have no PHB.  We 
have a Geek Boss. 

Is it a coincidence that Red Hat is making proffit after hiring our 
former TriLUG's president? I suspect that Kevin will pay some pizza for 
TriLUG with his big'ole fat x-mas check.


Salut,
Sinner
