Redhat is the fastest growing 500. Number 193. I've used Redhat 5 of the last 6 years, I've known Bob Young for 6 years. Redhat is a great company and Bob is a great guy but my several posts in the last 40 posts ask the question, What is the plan to make money. At 6 bucks a share all you most likely can lose is 3 to 5 a share, but why is there and upside to Redhat. What is the revenue plan??? What most companies with a product sell is the copyrited license to use the companies property. What SoftwareRedhat sells can be had for free and thus we get to the idea of selling service. But hey linux can be used to do cool stuff. watman.com still a redhat 5.1 paid $1.75 for the cd watman.com mandrake and nt 4 $1.75 for the mandrake cd watman.com 90% on mandrake machine watman.com was redhat no mandrake used above $1.75 mandrake cd This is a repost of message Message 14578469 duhhhhhhh.... new service model. Service is provided by people. What does a linux service people cost? What is a reasonable amount of revenue to expect for a service people? How many tens of people work for Rhat? How many tens of millions of shares of Rhat are there? How many hundreds of service people are required to generate a dollar a share profit for Rhat? On the other hand. Momentum may take rhat to any price. But rhat as an investment? Hey I need a service people. Do I get a redhat who service people or do I get and IBM service people? Well actually I'm partial to an SGI service people. Tom Watson tosiwmee
