The biggest beneficiary of the bunch is IBM, which bagged $1 billion in Linux-based revenues in 2002 -- more than double what it got in 2001. Big Blue won't break out profits on that part of its business, but it boasts that its Linux operations are in the black. One step behind is HP. In the past four years, Carly Fiorina's troops have generated $2 billion in Linux revenue from sales of hardware, software, and consulting. By comparison, gross sales at Red Hat have yet to crack $90 million a year.
