Storm Linux to Bundle Star Office


Vancovuer, Canada - November 15, 1999 Stormix Technologies, Inc., a
provider of Linux based software and solutions, announces that Storm Linux
2000 will ship with the full version of Sun Microsystem's StarOffice 5.1a,
a leading office suite on the Linux platform.

StarOffice is a full-featured, interoperable, multi-platform office
productivity suite that runs on the Solaris(TM) Operating Environment,
Windows, Linux and OS/2 platforms and is available for free download at
www.sun.com/staroffice.  StarOffice software, available in eight languages,
has a fully integrated set of powerful applications that provides
compatible word processing, spreadsheet, graphic design, presentations,
HTML editor, mail/news reader, scheduler, and database functions and
contains filters for importing other file formats. StarOffice 5.1 software
provides performance and feature upgrades that improve user experience and
productivity.

"Star Office is a key piece of third party software for Storm Linux," says
David Talmor, founder and CEO of Stormix Technologies, Inc.  "StarOffice is
available on both Windows 98/NT and Linux, and includes sophisticated
translation filters for MS Office. These features make StarOffice ideal for
businesses that are migrating to Linux."

"There's a new paradigm for office productivity tools - a paradigm that
consists of free and available web-based binaries and source code," said
Marco Boerries, vice president and general manager, Webtop and Application
Software, Sun Microsystems. "Because StarOffice software is leading this
paradigm with its open office environment, users of Storm Linux are sure to
reap the benefits."

The release date of Storm Linux 2000 is expected to be announced
shortly. The beta version can be downloaded from www.stormix.com.
