“Hoping to create a one-stop Linux powerhouse, VA Linux
Systems, which sells computers and support services, today
announced it has acquired Andover.Net, a site dedicated to Linux
information, in a cash and stock deal worth roughly $813
million.“
“The news was announced in conjunction with the LinuxWorld
Conference and Expo.”
“The merger positions Sunnyvale, Calif.-based VA to provide a
multitude of services for Linux programmers, bringing together
Andover.Net’s vast Linux information and community sites with VA’s
open source services. VA hopes the deal will drive sales as
developers visiting Andover.Net for information may well be steered
to VA’s products.”
