[ale] Redhat IPO

[Jim Kinney]

Actually... 

>>IF you got a message from redhat/etrade aboutthe IPO special for OS
	community
->AND you open an acount with etrade to do it
->AND you really open an acount with etrade by sending in an initial
	deposit of $1k or more by July 28
-->THEN you are eligable for purchasing some of the reserved shares prior
	to the price fluctuations after the opening sale. 

>>->IF more shares are wanted than are available in this pool, there will
	be a round robin allocation until the pool is dry. The minimum purchase
	size is 100 shares.

>>IF You did not recieve the offer, you can still buy stock in RedHat
(RHAT) in the IPO frenzy at the then prevailing market price. You will
still need to have an account with E-trade with a minimum deposit of $1k.
After the account is open (i.e. the deposit has been recieved) you will
have further access to specific information about the RedHat IPO. 

>>IF you are not a US citizen, you will not be eligable to participate in
the IPO at all. You will be able to participate in the open market and buy
shares through a broker or etrade, etc. 

I wish them the best of luck. I suspect Bob Young hasn't been sleeping
well lately ;)
