So much for my theory on Monday. Maybe tomorrow will be better. See The Night Watch: Linux Stocks Soar on Microsoft's Woes By Eric Gillin Staff Reporter 4/3/00 8:55 PM ET Got Linux? Got anything to do with Linux? Know how to say Linux? Anything Linux-related rose heavily in after-hours trading as investors turn away from Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq - news - boards) in favor of one of its biggest sources of competition. Software makers, platform designers and major market names affiliated with Linux all put on the feed bag in postclose news. Corel (CORL:Nasdaq - news - boards), perhaps best known for its recent advance into the Linux market, rose 1 53/64 to 12 9/64 on 166,000 shares on Instinet and 2 1/32 to 12 11/32 on 445,000 shares on Island. Inprise (INPR:Nasdaq - news - boards) might have different characters, but essentially told the same story. It rose 1 97/256 to 8 1/8 on 20,000 shares on Island. Red Hat (RHAT:Nasdaq - news - boards) was a fashionable choice this evening, gaining 5 1/64 to 47 9/64 on 163,000 shares on Instinet and 5 1/4 to 47 1/4 on 309,000 shares on Island. This company makes an operating system that runs on Linux. It performs a similar function to Microsoft's Windows program with one glaring difference -- Red Hat's source code is open, meaning companies can look inside the guts of its programs to modify it. Another Linux supporter, Sun Microsystems (SUNW:Nasdaq - news - boards) rose 2 3/16 to 92 on 230,000 shares in after-hours trading on Instinet and 3 to 93 on 52,000 shares on Island.
