Regarding the Linux rage, an old-time stock, Perle Systems (PERL), has caught fire.
However, I think PERL should be excluded from the Linux group.

"...Analysts are puzzled by the market's attraction to Perle, which makes data communications equipment. The company said on Tuesday it would deliver the final set of free Linux drivers for its hardware line by year's end, but the firm is not involved in the Linux sector, analysts say.
''I think people misinterpreted the press release,' said Paul Bradley, analyst at Canaccord Capital Corp. in Toronto..."
It's a short candidate, in my opinion, because the daytraders can stampede right out once they find out that they'll be the ones left holding the bag. Having a set of drivers for the Linux OS hardly qualifies it as a co-play with RedHat's sector.
If the market falls for that, let's all start companies that makes drivers for Linux, and then take it public as a Linux play. Sheesh.
