“LinuxCare, the well-known Linux help-desk company, on Wednesday
bet its money and future on a planned $92 million IPO.”

“LinuxCare will trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol LXCR. The
IPO’s underwriters are Credit Suisse First Boston, FleetBoston
Robertson Stephens and Hambrecht & Quist.”

With this new expected influx of cash, LinuxCare plans to
