“VA Linux, the Linux hardware vendor and high-tech stock
darling, is staying true to its open-source roots by opening
SourceForge, a free online program repository and portal for
open-source developers.”
“SourceForge, still emerging from a seven-week beta period,

“Despite the “Linux” in VA Linux’s name, SourceForge isn’t
limited to Linux projects. Any and all legitimatize open-source

environment. Whether an open-source program runs on OpenBSD,
Palm or even Windows, so long as it’s an open-source program it’s
game for SourceForge.”
