“Linux computer seller VA Research has renamed itself VA Linux
Systems and is acquiring two other Linux companies, Linux Hardware
Solutions and Enlightenment Solutions…”
“VA acquired the companies chiefly for the personnel, Augustin
said. In particular, Linux Hardware Solutions chief executive Kit
Cosper will lead VA’s customer service and customer satisfaction
operations, while Enlightenment Solutions’ Geoff “Mandrake”
Harrison will join VA’s new research section, VA Linux Labs. With
more than 10 new employees from the two companies, VA’s headcount
now tops 100, Augustin added.”
