Another VC for BSDi

BSD Today carried this press release, announcing that BSDi has accepted a 4 million dollar investment from another japanese venture capital investment firm, GLQ Intrepia, led by a strategic partner Plat'Home, a japanese Open Source hardware vendor. I know this news is a few days old, but its interesting. Most of BSDi's recent big investments have come from Japan, where it is said BSD is almost as big as Linux is here.

    Wow, congratulations. I'm just wondering how a company can expand that quickly- I imagine that a good portion would be spent on advertising, and then some more spent for investments/acquisitions, and probably some left liquid.

    It will be interesting to see how this newfound capital will affect an already established company such as BSDi (note: I'm aware that BSDi is a young company, but it's really just an expanded BSDI: which is an established company)
