They have several initiatives for making money.
- "Cloud" offering where people can store their stuff and pay for it.
- Enterprise Cloud offering.
- Support for enterprise clients (both desktop and servers)
- Partnerships (e.g. inclusion of proprietary packages in special
repositories)
- Certification for hardware
- Training.
Now, how successful is any of the above? One can only guess.
