Hello Jonathan ,

I am writing to let you know that our client, TurboLinux, the leader in
high-performance Linux, is making several SIGNIFICANT industry announcements
that I thought might be of interest to you and your readers. Following are
some of the news highlights with the complete releases for each included
below:

1) AT LONG LAST-CLUSTERING FOR LINUX HAS ARRIVED! TurboLinux is releasing
the industry's first high-availability clustering software solution for the
enterprise-TurboCluster Server.  TurboCluster Server is the industry's FIRST
Linux clustering application available and scalable for Web servers on Intel
and Alpha architecture platforms.  Unlike Beowulf clustering systems that
are designed for highly specialized scientific computing applications,
TurboCluster Server delivers clustering technology for Linux servers running
mission-critical Web applications.  For Net businesses, the availability of
TurboCluster Server offers, for the first time, a low-cost alternative to
proprietary and more expensive Microsoft NT and UNIX cluster solutions.
Additional information on TurboCluster Server, including a white paper and
FAQ, is available at http://www.community.turbolinux.com.

2) THERE IS NOW A LINUX CLUSTERING SOLUTION FOR ALPHA PROCESSORS! TurboLinux
is the first company to port a Linux clustering solution to the Alpha
architecture platform.  TurboCluster Server for Alpha is slated to ship in
Q4 of 1999.

A complete demonstration of TurboCluster and the port of TurboCluster to
Alpha will be made by TurboLinux at the Linux World Expo show in San Jose
(booth #1020) as well as by hardware partners Adaptec, Compaq and IBM.  In
addition, TurboLinux also plans to unveil TurboLinux Server 4.0 at the show.
So, if you are planning to attend the Linux World Expo, please stop by the
TurboLinux booth for a complete demonstration.

If your interest in an interview with TurboLinux president, Cliff Miller
and/or vice president of North American Operations, Lonn Johnston, please
feel free to contact me or stop by their booth (#1020).  If you have any
other questions, feel free to contact me at (408)727-0351 or reach me via
e-mail at - amberc@mcgpr.com

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,
Amber
