I met them somewhere - Linux Expo? - a few years back.

They were very competitive in price at the low end of the rack mounted
market at the time, and seemed to know their Linux.

Last quote we got from them was not obviously competitive with the likes
of Compaq and DELL, but they wouldn't have to do much in terms of good
Linux support to make up for the price difference.

I think they will ship preconfigured with Linux straight to the rack of
your choice.

Afraid though I never placed an order, so can't comment on the kit, but
the staff were always efficient, and they are still around with an
expanded product offering a few years later, so looks like they are here
to stay.
