“Looking to ride the Linux wave sweeping through Silicon Valley
onto Wall Street, VA Linux Systems and Andover.net are expected to
begin public trading next week.”
“Being affiliated with the popular open-source operating
system should help VA Linux and Andover rise above the crowded
field, which has more than 20 IPOs scheduled to
launch….“
“VA Linux, which markets servers, and Andover, an operator of
Web sites, are Linux-related offerings, but investors will likely
treat them differently, according to IPO analysts. Andover.net may
face mixed reviews because of the unconventional approach it took
with its offering.”
