“Barely a day goes by in the high-tech arena without the
announcement of a multimillion-dollar funding deal for a Linux
start-up. The latest example is OpenSales, an open-source
e-commerce software company, which today received $10 million in
financing.”
“Like most of it newly cash-flush brethren, OpenSales isn’t
winning admirers with big profits; its main product won’t even be
released until later this month. But Linux has won the
confidence of investors, and market penetration of Linux and
Linux-related software has expanded dramatically in the past year
and is expected to continue to grow.”
“OpenSales’ main offering is OpenSales Core Commerce, an
e-commerce management program that runs on Linux, Unix and Windows
NT. With it, sites can manage content, pricing, inventory, ordering
and other functions. The company was founded in part by former
programmers from eToys.”
