“2000 could be the year that Linux comes fully into its own,

“Until recently, it seemed that investors who were searching for
a company with a viable free software-based business model had
found a superstar in Linuxcare, Inc., a services and solutions
provider backed by venture capital powerhouse Kleiner Perkins.”
“As the company apparently fell into a tailspin of executive
departures and rank and file layoffs, the E-Commerce Times spoke
with co-founder and CTO Dave Sifry, who said that the recent highly
publicized problems are nothing more than a part of the growing
process.”
