Is Red Hat in trouble?
Lately, I've been getting questions about how well, or not, Red Hat is doing. My answer: I think the company's doing just fine.
Yes, I know that Oracle is coming after them. And, yes, I know that Novell and Microsoft's partnership, problems and all, has given Novell's SLES 10 (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) some unexpected sales.
At the same time, competition for Linux to Linux migration is seeing an upsurge. Novell recently released a new training course to help systems administrators migrate from RHEL 4 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) to Novell's SLES. Oracle has also been attempting to undercut Red Hat's pricing with its Unbreakable Linux pricing.
Still, at least one analyst, Hambrecht+Co financial analyst Robert Stimson, remains bullish on the Raleigh, NC-based Linux distributor.
