As some of you know, we recently went through a round of qualifications of
several Linux vendors for the Farms. We ranked them on many items including
hardware quality, Linux expertise, support, and cost. Of the 8 companies
invited to participate, 5 submitted systems for us to review. Each company
passed the qualification but we informed them as to where they needed
improvement.

These companies and their contacts are, in the order of scoring, highest being
