“Linux firm Red Hat today said it has agreed to buy e-commerce
software company Hell’s Kitchen Systems in a stock deal worth about
$86 million.”
“Red Hat, which sells Linux operating system software, said it

“Red Hat’s global reach and brand recognition delivers HKS’
e-commerce software to the open source servers running the world’s
Internet infrastructure,” Red Hat chief executive Matthew Szulik
said in a statement. “The acquisition of HKS is another key
addition to Red Hat’s strategy to create a next-generation software
company spanning powerful servers, Internet infrastructure and
pervasive, post-PC-centric computing platforms.“
