Yes, there are large chunks of VC money looking for Linux exposure. Dreaming IPO's- I'd be more attracted to a Caldera IPO than RedHat. Maybe Noorda is about to take Caldera public. The timing is certainly right. Given that speculation, MTI with a PE of 14 would seem to be a safe way to bet on Caldera. I don't think that the equity relationship will have any other value to MTI, like "closer access to the Linux world". I'm unfamiliar with the underlying MTI business. Why is it that a RAID storage company is trading at a 14 PE? -JCJ
