“With the surge in RedHat (RHAT) , anything Linux has been red
hot. For instance, the long-struggling software developer, Corel

“One of the companies spawned by the Linux revolution has
been Andover.net . Revenues have increased from $1.3 million for
1998 to $2.1 million for 1999. The company is primarily advertising
driven (95 percent of total sales). There are over 130
advertisers, with the top ones being EarthWeb, IBM, CNET,
Broadcast.com and Silicon Graphics.”
“Furthermore, about $570,000 of the 1999 revenues were the
result of barter arrangements. Basically, these are non-cash
transactions, in which companies swap banner impressions.”
