Linux brings in big bucks

IBM and Hewlett-Packard garnered billions of dollars in revenue
from Linux-related products in 2002, the companies said this
week. HP said Tuesday that it had $2 billion in Linux-related
revenue in 2002. Wednesday, the opening day of the LinuxWorld
Conference and Expo in New York, IBM said it had raked in $1.5

Presumably this is mainly sales of hardware people bought to support
the Linux applications they wanted? So it's IBM returning to it's

rather than selling software as a commodity in its own right?
