    I spent a few years at Red Hat. Great company back in those days. I wonder how mucb IBM has changed it but some of my former colleagues are still there, years later, so it can’t be too bad!

    It does remain one of my regrets that I cashed out my vested stock options much too soon. If I’d held on to them until the IBM buyout I would have done very well for myself!

      Even beyond the buyout.

      IBM stock was around $120 for a while, then doubled and went as high as 300. It’s now settled in the low 200s.

      Holding Red Hat through IBM was really nice.
