Sweet. =) ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Linux Server Information Date: Wed, 06 Mar 2002 16:09:28 -0800 From: Ali Jenab <ajenab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: weez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ###################################################################### You have received this email because you were a hardware customer of VA Linux Systems, Inc. In 2001, VA sold its Linux server business to California Digital Corporation and changed its name to VA Software Corporation. Because this is the final email that VA will send to its former hardware customer list, you will not need to send requests to unsubscribe. ###################################################################### As President and Chief Operating Officer of VA, I wanted to thank you for your past support. The support of customers like you enabled us to help define the Linux server market. As you know, with the deteriorating economic situation of 2001, VA exited the server business in July, and changed its focus to providing the SourceForge collaborative software development platform. Many of you have since asked us questions about availability of servers, spare parts and technical support. I am pleased to announce that VA has sold its server business to California Digital Corporation. Several VA veterans have joined California Digital in the areas of sales, operations, engineering and technical support. California Digital has acquired product designs and inventory from VA and is hence able to continue shipping, for example, the 2230 and 1220 Linux servers designed by VA. California Digital's engineers have also developed newer versions of these popular servers incorporating new technology released in the past six months. In addition to shipping new servers, California Digital can also provide spare parts fully qualified for use in existing VA systems, as well as warranty extensions, technical support for some systems and out-of-warranty service. I hope that VA's relationship with California Digital will help provide a smooth transition for our former server customers. Please contact California Digital at 1-888-LINUX-4-U for Linux and server related inquiries, or visit their web site at http://www.californiadigital.com/ Of course, please call VA Software at 1-877-825-4689 for SourceForge and OSDN-related inquiries, or visit us on the web at http://www.vasoftware.com/ Ali Jenab President and Chief Operating Officer VA Software Corporation ------------------------------------------------------- -- # John Madden weez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ICQ: 2EB9EA # FreeLists, Free mailing lists for all: //www.freelists.org # UNIX Systems Engineer, Ivy Tech State College: http://www.ivy.tec.in.us # Linux, Apache, Perl and C: All the best things in life are free!
