Penguin Computing & LinuxCare

[Micah Yoder <LYoder@cyberis.net>]

A couple things...

I was talking a bit to Sam Ockman of Penguin Computing.  I E-mailed him
after seeing their jobs page, which really interested me.  I mentioned I
was working on the Linux Knowledge Base (they're interested in people
who are active in the Linux community).  He said he'd love to sponsor
us!  I wrote back saying VA already donated the box and we have an ISP,
but that maybe we'd need a mirror at some point.  He hasn't written back
since, but I think he's pretty busy with the conference.  Do we need
anything that they might be able to provide?  It would be sort of nice
if we could promote two or more Linux system vendors (probably on
different mirrors).

I suppose you've all noticed that LinuxCare is making their support DB
public.  Obviously a good thing.  Perhaps we should talk to them and
tell them what we're doing.  I bet they don't have the infrastructure
that we're making, and their content would sure help us!  I also expect
we'll have more categories than they will, especially if we include
programming information (and I certainly hope so).
