“Red Hat Inc., the reigning Linux distribution in the U.S.,
announced today that it has agreed to acquire Hell’s Kitchen
Systems, Inc., developers of e-commerce processing software, for
over $85 million in stock.”

“Said Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik about the acquisition: “Red
Hat’s global reach and brand recognition delivers HKS’ e-commerce
software to the open source servers running the world’s Internet
infrastructure. 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.”
