TUCOWS.COM Announces the Largest Linux Themes Site
Linuxberg.com now the one-stop Linux spot


Toronto - July 28, 1999 - TUCOWS.COM is launching the largest Linux theme
site ever created. With well over 1500 themes, the new site located at
www.linuxberg.com/themes, will help meet the high demand for all Linux
needs from the computing community. The new Linux Themes site will
compliment another member of the TUCOWS Network: Linuxberg
(www.linuxberg.com). Linuxberg, with over 2000 programs, is one of the
largest distributors of Linux software in the world. 

The new site consists of many different themes containing collections of
sounds, backgrounds, and icons. This will transform the typical plain
desktop manager's interface into something more suited to the personality
of each individual user. With the current rise in the popularity of Linux,
a need for a large collection of themes for users has also come about. All
themes will be compatible with KDE and Window Maker, the two most popular
desktop managers for Linux. 

While this new Linux Themes site will have over 1500 themes at launch, more
will be added daily. The large number and variety of themes offered will
allow users to make this site, combined with Linuxberg, their one-stop
Linux location. 

Linux Themes is operating in co-operation with Freethemes.com, a part of
the TUCOWS Network. The Linux themes site is modeled on the TUCOWS
affiliate program, offering fast, easy downloads through multiple sites
globally.

"There has been great success with FreeThemes.com and a high demand for
such a site for Linux users globally," says Scott Swedorski, founder and
Editor in Chief of TUCOWS. "We are pleased to be the first to offer the
largest theme site to our users and to over 150 Linuxberg affiliates around
the world."
