“Can the ragamuffin Linux open-source community adapt to
multimillion-dollar stock packages and investor scrutiny?“
“David Sifry, a co-founder of nascent support firm Linuxcare,
was recently sifting through the growing pile of resumes on his
desk, when he did a double take. There before him sat a r?sum? from

brokerage company’s technical operations.”
“Nassaur? He has 17 years of information technology and
operations experience, including stints managing and designing
systems at Holiday Inn Worldwide, BellSouth.net, GTE Mobilnet, and
others before he joined E*Trade. What was he doing looking for a
job at an unproven company that administers support for a free
operating system?”
