“Lineo has wooed three new executives from better-established
companies in its effort to hasten the adoption of Linux in non-PC
computing devices.”
“Lineo hired Richard Larsen, formerly in charge of software
sales at Sun Microsystems, to lead the Linux company’s entire sales
operation. Larsen, with 22 years in the industry and seven at Sun,
will help build a more seasoned executive team for the purveyor of
Linux and other software for “embedded” computing devices, such as
network equipment, set-top boxes or factory robots.”
“…In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Friday,
Lineo said it had pro forma revenue of $4.9 million for the nine
months ended July 31. That compares with $1.4 million for the same
nine-month period the year before.“
