Oracles Fiscal 4Q: A Yellow Flag?

It seems like Red Hat is still reaping all the benefits, with revenue that
surged 42%, according to yesterday's financial report.

Still, Oracle does well with Linux on almost all of their servers (not

MySQL is still doing _extremely_ well (IPO coming), so the losers here might be
some smaller players.
