“VA Research Inc., a developer of Intel-based PCs, servers and
workstations running the increasingly popular Linux operating
system, is expected to announce on Monday that it will receive an
investment from chip giant Intel Corp., according to industry
sources.”

“With its investment in Red Hat, based in Research Triangle
