Intel and Netscape Communications on Tuesday announced they have
taken equity stakes in Red Hat Software, a distributor of the free
Linux operating system.
With the investments, Red Hat will establish an Enterprise
Computing Division that will offer enterprise-grade products and
services, according to Red Hat President Robert Young.
Brad Chase, Microsoft vice president of developer relations and
marketing said, “This does not impact our relationship with Intel
in the least. Intel often takes small equity in companies like
this.”
