This is fairly big deal..

Prior to the acquisition, Red Hat's market capitalization stood at
approximately $20.5 billion.
The acquisition is by far IBM's largest deal ever, and the third-biggest
in the history of U.S. tech.

I'm quite optimistic about this pending $34 billion aquisition. Unlike
the knee jerk frenzy surrounding the Microsoft aquisition of Github,
IBM (already painted historically as a victim in the whole OS/2
debacle with Microsoft) has managed to be portrayed as a champion of
FOSS where Linux based projects are concerned.
Quite the opposite connotations seem to exist where the Evil
EllisonCo's (Oracle) clone of RHEL (Unbreakable) is concerned. Instead
of embracing and suppporting the FOSS spirit, Oracle (to me, anyway)
seemed to be merely constructing a bridge of forced conveyance towards
their propietary offerings.
Sorry if I've offended anyone, but Bill Joy (creator of the
[functional] Internet IMNSHO) is one of my personal heroes, and the
vaporized remnants of Sun Microsystems, among other destructive
business initiatives, has left a really bad taste in my mouth. At the
very least, the Evil EllisonCo could have kept the Sun logo extant in
techie popular culture lol.
