Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the another-linux-company-goes-public dept.

Fred Palmer noted that Caldera has officially begun trading their stock. The stock is currently trading several points above where they opened: congrats to everyone who got in on this one, but especially to the guys at Caldera. Now lets see what they do with it ... Linsight has a good summary if you're interested.

  1. Embeded by MountainLogic · · Score: 5

    Caldera is placing them selves much different from the Red Hats & VAs. They have a unique offering for embedded support. RH/VA really are positioning themselves as desktop players. I see a lot more room for Caldera supporting embeded for Linux than every corperate IS department switching over to Linux on the desktop. (Not the because of the value of Linux for the desktop, but because of the slowness of most IS dept). Embeded engineers can select an OS with few of the restriction an IS dept has as long as it gets the job done.
