VA buys LHS, Enlightened Solutions

Lazzaro wrote in with the most exciting thing I've seen all day: A TechWeb article about VA (Research) buying Linux Hardware Solutions and mandrake's company, Enlightened Solutions. It goes on to say VA will regroup into three separate groups: an apparently RHAD-like development division, a web unit for Linux.com, and a systems group.

I'd just like to make sure that everyone understands that this relationship is the result of a lot of work and many, many hours of discussion. As both companies have grown we're facing new challenges, and we have come to the conclusion that a joint approach is the most effective way to meet these challenges. This deal will allow the new VA to keep pace with the explosive growth in the community while continuing to provide exceptional customer satisfaction.
