Cellar to be powered by Penguin Computing

[Undertoad]

Got a deal going on to put the Cellar on its own rack-mount blade server, a little baby Penguin Computing system, with a discount if I put "Powered by Penguin Computing" on the site somewhere. I think it'll be in the footer, right next to the Paypal link that you all (minus two of you who know who you are) have ignored so well. (I'm not bitter, it really is your choice.)

This is as much a nod to the Cellar's origins as a Philly BBS, as it is a deal to get a few bucks off a server. Y'see, Penguin Computing was founded by one Sam Ockman, and before Sam was out in San Fran putting together top-notch Linux boxes, he was a Philly BBSer. His pal and long-time Cellarite Dan W. "The Mailman" set up a place to sell Sam's refurb/return systems The Linux Outlet, and advertised on another site, where I happened to recognize him and email him directly. So a deal is coming together.

I have always been a fan of Penguin Computing systems. They're rock-solid Linux hardware with full VAR support. I've convinced several clients to use them and everyone's been quite happy. So the whole thing just tickles me, I couldn't be happier both to do a deal with Sam and to support his company.
