   To Be Or Not To Be?
   Reuters

   SAN FRANCISCO -- Shares of Be Inc., a developer of an operating system
   for digital media and Internet appliances, rose about 48 percent
   Thursday amid market rumors that the company could be acquired by Red
   Hat Inc.

   Shares in the Menlo Park, California company have climbed in the past
   month, from 3-1/2 in November, as investors scooped up alternatives to
   Microsoft after it was declared a monopoly by the judge in its ongoing
   antitrust case.

   On Thursday, Be's shares surged after Charles Payne, president of Wall
   Street Strategies, mentioned in a report to clients that Be may be
   taken over by Red Hat, the largest distributor of the alternative
   Linux operating system. Shares of Be jumped 13 to 38-1/4 and Red Hat
   was up 2-1/2 to 245-3/4.

   Melissa London, a spokeswoman for Red Hat, said the company does not
   comment on rumors. Officials at Be could not be reached for comment.

   Be was founded in 1990 by a former head of research and development at
   Apple Computer, Jean-Louis Gassee. The company markets its BeOS
   operating system to computer makers, retailers, consumer electronics
   manufacturers, and others.

   Last month, Be signed a pact with National Semiconductor to
   collaborate on product designs for the Internet appliance market.

   Analysts and investment bankers have said that Red Hat is looking at
   doing more acquisitions, using its high-flying stock, to continue to
   build its brand and its product line.

   Last month, it announced a deal to buy Cygnus Solutions, a developer
   of software tools, for US$674 million in stock. At its current stock
   price, Red Hat has a market cap of over $15 billion.

  (faint, RedHat公司现在很喜欢收购别人啊. 钱多了就是大爷啊...refaint)
