Storm Linux 2000 to Ship with VMware

Vancouver, Canada - November 17, 1999 - Stormix Technologies,
Inc., announces that Storm Linux 2000 will ship with the VMware
evaluation binaries, a software technology that allows the
running of other operating systems, including Windows, from
within Linux.

 VMware for Linux is based on VMware's patent-pending Virtual
Platform(TM), a thin software layer that functions as a virtual
machine monitor on a standard PC. Using VMware, Linux users can
run multiple operating systems without rebooting or
repartitioning, and easily share data between them.

"VMware is important to Linux’s future," says David Talmor,
founder and CEO of Stormix Technologies. Even the most dedicated
Linux users sometimes need to run other operating systems. In
fact, this ability is by far the most requested feature on the
Software Wish List on the Linux Journal’s web-site. VMware
delivers exactly what Linux users are requesting."

"Stormix Technologies is the first distribution based on Debian
GNU/Linux to include the VMware evaluation binaries," says Dave
Michaud, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Service at
VMware. "VMware is pleased to make its software available to the
Debian community within  Linux."
Full details about Storm Linux 2000 will be released shortly. For
