“An “open-source” software site has been purchased only a
week after it formally went live, the latest testament to the Linux
craze sweeping Silicon Valley and Wall Street.“
“Programmer Web site Cosource was acquired today by software
developer Applix, which will use its new partner to bolster its
Linux office products.”
“The move comes amid a surge of interest, and competition, in
all things Linux. The technology is a darling of investors at the
moment, and has been responsible for several hot initial public
offerings, including the record trading day for hardware maker VA
Linux Systems last week.”
