1. About this document
This is the Linux VAR HOWTO. It contains a listing of service
companies which do not manufacture hardware or create packaged
software, but add value to existing products. This added value can
take many forms, such as installation of Linux on computer hardware,
configuration, or custom applications. However, at the moment the
Linux VAR HOWTO only contains companies selling preconfigured hardware
for the purpose of running Linux. Companies offering other services
are invited to contact the maintainer Martin Michlmayr at
<tbm@cyrius.com> for a listing.
If you need to know more about the Linux Documentation Project or
about Linux HOWTO's, feel free to contact the supervisor Greg Hankins
<gregh@sunsite.unc.edu>.
Greg Hankins will post the listing to several national and
international newsgroups on a monthly basis. In addition, the Linux
VAR HOWTO can be found on the World Wide Web at
http://www.cyrius.com/tbm/VAR-HOWTO. New versions of the Linux VAR
HOWTO are always placed at this site first, so please be sure to check
if the copy you are reading is still up to date!
Companies selling hardware for the purpose of running Linux are
invited to fill out the following form and contact me at
tbm@cyrius.com. Companies offering other services should contact me
so a more appropriate template can be worked out.
