The service centers will focus on areas such as parallel computing and clustering, application porting, and custom versions of Linux and Linux applications. The company also announced that it has signed a new contract with Dell Computer to expand the services that it currently offers to Dell's Linux customers.

Linuxcare has just completed a second round of funding, valued at $32.5 million. Backers include Sun Microsystems, Dell, and Oracle.
Executives will expand on the announcements at a press conference in San Francisco on Tuesday.
