Ok guys, this is purely a rumor, but its one that I've heard from several points on the globe so I'm gonna share it: Vulture Capitalist writes "I just got out of a meeting with Matthew Szulick and it appears as though Red Hat has inked a deal to buy Cygnus. In related news- we also understand that some people at Red Hat were so upset with the acquisition and it's corporate implications that they have decided to resign from their Sr. management (founding) positions. After the failed acquisition attempts with both Linuxcare and TurboLinux- this should prove to be a very interesting deal. I'm personally looking forward to the annual report! " Again, none of this is any more than rumor, but I've caught wind of it from several spots so I figure its worth sharing. What's interesting is that Cygnus has more employees then Red Hat, and actually generates more revenue. -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com [mailto:cygwin-owner AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com]On Behalf Of Nick Codignotto Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 1999 10:39 AM To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com Subject: Fw: Red Hat buying Cygnus?
