“This week, Linux-based hardware solutions vendor VA Linux
Systems moved to support startup Web portal LinuxNewbie.com (LNC),
a site aimed at introducing the public to the increasingly popular
open-source operating system (OS).”
“LNC will, we hope, provide a source of news, information
and guidance to the many new Linux users out there,” commented
site manager James Green. “We also understand that while many
people have used Windows before, many may not have, and so our
content will not be focused solely on Windows to Linux transitions
— it will cover all backgrounds and should provide a useful
insight into Linux for those who are still thinking of installing
it…”
“Moving to provide a single point of contact, VA Linux also
announced this week the launch of its Professional Services Group,
which will offer consulting and customization services and support
to business customers. Operating out of the company’s Sunnyvale,
California offices, the group will focus upon offering services in
several areas: Architecture and planning; deployment and
installation; performance analysis; security consulting; and
systems integration.”
