Business Wire: Penguin Computing Offers FREE Assistance to Competition

“Penguin Computing, the nation’s largest and fastest-growing
company focusing exclusively on turn-key Linux solutions, announced
today that it is extending an offer to every computer and software
manufacturer to share its vast experience in designing and building
Linux-based computer systems. This is an unprecedented move for a
company that sells computer systems to freely offer its technical
knowledge to every other manufacturer.”

“Most major computer manufacturers have already begun selling
systems that will accept the Linux operating system in addition to
UNIX or Microsoft’s (Nasdaq:MSFT) Windows or NT. But few companies
have begun building Linux-only systems. Of those companies that
sell Linux configured systems, Penguin Computing is by far the
leader, selling more Linux servers, workstations and desktops than
HP, Dell and IBM combined. And Penguin sells Linux only, nothing
else.”
