Turbolinux in talks to acquire Linuxcare, Jan 12, 2001

A Turbolinux executive has confirmed that talks have started between the two companies about a merger.

Lineo withdrew its proposed $60 million initial public offering, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The techie face of Linux is beginning to change. Several small developers, including Rebel.com and fellow maverick e-Smith Inc., have begun pasting friendly, easy-to-use interfaces on Linux business software. While anathema to Linux geeks, such improvements are good news for entrepreneurs.
