The VAR Guy

Matt Asay (not pictured), the man behind CNet’s Open Road blog, speculates that Oracle could go shopping for Red Hat because Red Hat shares are trading near a 52-week low.

The VAR Guy arrived in Portland, Oregon, last night to attend OSCON (Open Source Conference) 2008. He’s heading to the show now and will be providing updates (with an emphasis on Canonical and Ubuntu) throughout the day.
