| Let's tally up the list:

|       guessing at the high end, I think) of trailing revenues) - September 
|       2007 
|     * XenSource - $500 million (on $1 million in trailing revenues) -
|       August 2007
|     * JBoss - $350 million (on $27 million in 2006 revenues) - June
|       2006
| [...]
| 
|     * SUSE - $210 million (can't remember revenues - I think $30-40 
|       million) -  November 2003
