Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the digging-out-a-classic-icon dept.

ches_grin writes "BusinessWeek is running a nice profile on Levanta, the former dot-com poster child once known as Linuxcare. From the article: 'It's not that Matt Mosman has an easy job.

    As the name is close enough to Levitra, with some clever marketing people will believe the company can keep your computer up.
