Re: [Plug] Question of the Day:Redhat IPO
|
As far as I know, most companies tha tgo public don't offerr enough stock
in the ipo for something like that to happen...
to get real control of a company, you'd need to have a majority stake.
I'm going to assume that redhat would'nt release enough stock for that
to happen.
