Red Hat Global expansion and strong Enterprise Linux subscriptions have lifted Red Hat to double-digit growth as the CEO confirms Red Hat's solution and services provider transformation. Red Hat reported profit of USD 18.2 million, or USD 0.09 per diluted share, an increase of 64 per cent year on year for the second quarter of the company's fiscal year, which ended August 31.

Good figures

These look pretty good figures. They're also a reminder of just how far behind Novell/SuSE is as a real number 2 rather than a de facto one. Red Hat's turnover is about four times higher than Novell/SuSE's turnover from its Linux operations, and if Red Hat continues to turn in figures like this then it's hard to see Novell/SuSE ever closing the gap by much. If Microsoft was hoping to embarrass Red Hat by boosting Novell then the idea hasn't worked, at least on this evidence.
