"Penguin Computing has laid off about 25% of its staff across the board, according to Scott Weinbrandt, vice president of sales and marketing at the San Francisco Linux solutions seller. "We are going through restructuring to support our business model," says Weinbrandt.

As of last Friday, the company laid off 25 people in an effort, says Weinbrandt, to refine its operations and stay true to the company vision to provide built-to-order Linux-based servers, and to provide customized software configurations for the Web, for applications, and for database servers. Weinbrandt claims that the company is growing, despite the cutbacks."
