FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LINUX NETWORX ADDS GAUSSIAN APPLICATION TO ITS CLUSTERED COMPUTER SOLUTIONS

	SANDY, UTAH, MAY 23, 2000 - Linux NetworX, Inc., a provider of
large-scale clustered computer solutions for Internet, industry and
research fields, announced today that its products will now be available
with Gaussian 98, the latest in the Gaussian series of electronic structure
applications.

	Gaussian is an application used by chemists and chemical engineers
for research in established and emerging areas of chemical interest. The
application helps users model chemical systems in order to predict their
properties and to study chemical reactions. The application performs its
computations starting from the basic laws of quantum mechanics and can
simulate chemical processes under a variety of conditions.
	
	"Arming Linux NetworX products with Gaussian allows us to provide
many of the necessary tools our customers in the chemical, pharmaceutical
and other scientific industries are requesting. We are currently evaluating
other applications for customers with various high performance computing
and high availability needs as well," said Clark Roundy, vice president of
Linux NetworX. "Linux NetworX will continue to add software additions, like
Gaussian, to provide the best product for our customers."

	Operating on a high performance Linux NetworX cluster system,
Gaussian will help users predict energies, molecular structures,
vibrational frequencies and numerous other molecular properties in both the
gas phase and in solution, and can study both ground state and excited
state molecular systems. Chemists can apply these fundamental results to
their own investigations by using Gaussian to explore chemical phenomena
like substituent effects, reaction mechanisms and electronic transition. 

About Linux NetworX
	A wholly owned subsidiary of Alta Technology Corporation, Linux
NetworX (www.linuxnetworx.com) uses the Linux operating system to create a
reliable and cost-effective alternative to the "super computer" for
organizations demanding high performance and low failure rates. With the
use of cluster computer technology, a method of linking multiple computers
through high-speed networks to form a single system, Linux NetworX provides
solutions for companies with high-computing needs, including Internet
servers, research, industry, government and other technological
fields. Linux NetworX offers products with extremely high availability, or
uptime, that can easily grow with customer needs. 

About the Linux Operating System
	Linux is a computer operating system that is distributed freely on
the Internet.  As an open source project, Linux allows developers to share
information, code and suggestions to continuously maintain and improve the
system. Linux NetworX selected the operating system for its stability,
reliability and rapid development.
