SAN FRANCISCO, CA--Penguin Computing is proud to announce its new associate
program. In exchange for letting the world know that it's possible to buy
high quality Linux Workstations and Servers, Penguin Computing will give a
referral fee of 1% for each computer sold.  This could range anywhere from
$10 to $600 per computer.

The idea for the associate program came from a staff meeting at Penguin. "We
were brainstorming how we can more directly help the Open Source community
that we owe so much to," said Sam Ockman, the founder of Penguin Computing.
Although this referral program is open to everyone, Open Source community
members are especially encouraged to join.

This program will help fund Linux User's Groups, Linux websites, and lots of
Open Source developers and advocates.  Penguin Computing hopes that it may
eventually allow some programmers to quit their day job and write Open
Source software full time.

To join the program all one needs to do is fill out the on-line form located
at "http://www.penguincomputing.com/associate.html".  After filling the form
out you are given a URL that you can use to link from your website to
Penguin Computing.  Anyone who clicks on that URL and buys a Penguin System
will generate the referral fee.

Penguin Computing was founded by Stanford Engineering Graduate Sam Ockman
to provide reliable workstations and servers running Red Hat Linux.
