I've patronized Penguin Computing ( http://www.penguincomputing.com ) a 
number of times over the years and I've been nothing but happy with 
them.  Earlier on, like 10 years ago, there may have been some order 
fulfillment quirks but that was sorted out long long ago.

I was personally privy to some high level meetings with their executive 
management where I got to see the commitment level they had to FOSS when 
turning down some potentially lucrative partnerships with quasi-FOSS 
companies (remember Caldera?) and staying true to their cause.

Actually, Tarus, I think I introduced you to Penguin Computing's 
founder, Sam Ockman, at a Linux trade show in NYC a few years ago if 
memory serves.
