Linux NetworX Named Regional Exporter of the Year
Manufacturer of Cluster Computers Honored by U.S. Small Business
Administration

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, April 2, 2001 - Linux NetworX, a provider of powerful
and easy-to-manage Linux cluster computing solutions, announced today it
has been named Regional and Utah Exporter of the Year by the U.S. Small
Business Administration (SBA). According to SBA, Linux NetworX was selected
based upon the growth of its exports to international markets and its
strategy to continue growing these markets into the future.

"Linux NetworX has had enormous success delivering our cluster solutions to
enterprise companies and large organizations domestically - the Exporter of
the Year award demonstrates our ability to spread this success to
international markets as well," said Glen Lowry, president and CEO of Linux
NetworX. "The demand for high performance computing power across the
planet, combined with the popularity of the Linux operating system
internationally, presents numerous market growth opportunities for Linux
NetworX."

SBA winners are nominated by someone outside of the organization and
reviewed by a panel of judges. As a statewide winner, Linux NetworX then
competed with other state winners from Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, North
Dakota and South Dakota, to win the regional award.

"It's quite an accomplishment for Linux NetworX to be named Utah Exporter
of the Year, but to then go on and win the regional award validates the
company is doing a lot of things right," said Stan Nakano, district
director for SBA. "Nominations were judged based upon increased export
sales, creative overseas marketing, effective solutions to export-related
problems, and efforts to assist other companies with exporting."

Clustered computing, the technology Linux NetworX specializes in, is a
method of linking multiple, physically separate computers together to form
a unified and more powerful system. The result is an extremely powerful,
reliable, scalable compute engine that can match the performance of a
typical supercomputer.

Linux NetworX and EBIZ Enterprises (OTCBB: EBIZ) recently announced a
planned merger. EBIZ is a manufacturer of specialized computer appliance
servers and the leading vendor-neutral provider of Open Source products and
solutions. The merger is expected to be completed during second quarter
2001.
