here's a thought i'm surprised i haven't seen floated more: va linux's new strategy is an eye towards an eventual acquisition by red hat. but first va linux is going to have to show some signs of life with their new strategy. (what is interesting to me is that va is now competing primarily with collabnet, which appears to have some major clients like sun and hp sewn up, and has a hell of a head start in the commercial side of the market. va has, of course, a rather large head start in the non-commercial side of that market with sourceforge.)
