for immediate release:

WholeLinux, Inc. announced the release of the WholeLinux Automatic
Installer, Version 0.9-Beta, which installs RedHat 6.0 and a customized
KDE desktop in less than eight minutes.
 
The installer is fully automatic, and has been designed to install
any RPM-based Linux distribution. WholeLinux believes that the beta
release they are now distributing is the only fully automatic,
distribution-neutral installer currently available for Linux.

Additional features which are built into the desktop are:
(1) simpified DSL router box/internet server/gateway setup.
Allows the local network to share one DSL connection, and 
provides web, mail service and file/sharing for Windows and Macs
(2) Automatic system restore function which backs up the network
configuration and password files. A damaged system can be completely
restored in 6-8 minutes automatically.
(3) Desktop Icons for easy installation of applications.

WholeLinux Automatic Installer beta copies are available by
request: email beta@wholelinux.com
