INDIANAPOLIS, IN. - IndyBox Systems announced they would be lowering the
price of their AMD Athlon based 500MHz ~ 700MHz KA Series
by 25%. Pricing begins at $1,000.00, with one of the many GNU/Linux
distributions pre-installed and optimized with the latest stable kernel
and X server. KA 4U and 6U rack mountable versions start at $1,250 and   
$1,675.00 with a wide array of hardware options all optimized for
Linux.

IndyBox Systems Chief Executive Charles Martin said "with the recent
demand for AMD Athlon based KA Series we have experience since
announcing the world's first GNU/Linux AMD Athlon system two weeks ago   
purchases have dramatically increased over similarly priced Intel
processor based Linux systems."

Martin added, "we remain focused in providing the lowest cost of
ownership for GNU/Linux systems. Its been very difficult for many of our
customers to ignore the world's fastest x86 processor when entertaining  
current purchasing needs."
