Stock market looks at RedHat.
Sounds like a good quarter and a good year just finished and a good projection for the coming year:

Revenue for the three months ended Feb. 28 was $57.5 million, up 56 percent compared with the same period last year, exceeding analysts' expectations, the Linux seller reported Thursday. Revenue also grew for the full fiscal 2005 year, increasing 58 percent to $196.5 million.
Red Hat's profit for the fourth quarter was 6 cents per share, or $11.8 million, in line with analysts' forecasts. For the year, profit was 24 cents per share, or $45.4 million.

One interesting point:
The company said it racked up a total of 175,000 new and renewed subscriptions in the fourth quarter. Its revenue from enterprise subscriptions was $45.4 million in the period, a 19 percent increase compared with the previous quarter.

First thing I looked at was the average per subscription: $45.4 million / 175,000 = $259 per subscription. Not certain what period the revenue covers.
Also, revenue from subscriptions was $45.4 million; revenue from allsources was $57.5 million, leaving $12.1 million for everything else. Subscriptions were 79% of the total.

Anyway:
The Raleigh, N.C., company's stock closed at $10.91 on Thursday, but in after-hours trading dropped 6 cents to $10.85.

This is not an enthusiastic response.
