"Red Hat Inc. filed for its initial public offering (IPO) of stock on June
4. For those who do not want to plow through the entire filing, here is a
list of highlights."
"Red Hat's strategy from the filing:
"Continue to enhance their web site to "create the
definitive online destination for the open source community.
"Expand their professional service capabilities,
aiming at large corporate business.
"Increase market acceptance of open source
software.
"Continue to invest in the development of open
source technology.

distribution." Red Hat clearly sees its future elsewhere."
