OPEN SOURCE: Some Novell Linux revenue numbers

via Business Review Online

Article from December 2006, but still some interesting information.

Novell's Linux revenue performance:

• Q105 $8.5m


• Q205 $8.6m


• Q305 $8.9m


• Q405 $9.3m


• Q106 $10.4m


• Q206 $10.3m


• Q306 $11.6m


• Q406 $13.0m

[...] With Linux revenue only accounting for 5.3% of Novell's total revenue in the fourth quarter (4.7% for the fiscal year) it is not fast enough growth to offset the demise of Novell's NetWare business.

That business shrunk $19.4m year-over-year in the fourth quarter, while Novell's combined Linux and Open Enterprise Server revenues were up just $4.3m year-over-year.
