GURU LABS ANNOUNCES FORMALIZATION OF LINUX TRAINING CENTER

After months of intensive research, GURU Labs has completed development of
several exciting new Linux courses and is prepared to teach Guru curriculum.

Dax Kelson and Bryan Croft founded Guru Labs in July of 1999 and immediately
started shaping the training company to be the premiere Linux training
facility in the country.

"We've had several years of classroom experience and specifically designed
our classrooms and courses for optimal learning in a comfortable
environment.   Guru Labs has spacious classrooms, a large break room, high
end Pentium III workstations, and training in the latest advances and
applications of Linux.    Instructors guide students through coursework with
a heavy emphasis on labs and experiential exercises.   'Learning by doing'
is the hallmark of a Guru Labs training experience," said Bryan Croft,
Co-founder and CEO

The team of experts in the Curriculum Department spent months in research
and development to create specialized Guru-level coursework in subjects
ranging from security and scripting to network services and Linux/Windows NT
integration.  Currently, an in-depth e-commerce class is proving to be the
most popular of the advanced level Guru classes.

Guru Labs also offers classes in Fundamentals, which is a comprehensive
introduction to Linux/Unix systems, and an Engineer course which
specifically trains in issues important to system administration.

"We're excited to offer Guru coursework.  Currently, there is no other
training facility in the country offering the type of intensive, in-depth
instruction in Linux that we're offering.  That's why we chose the name Guru
Labs.  We are essentially Gurus training Gurus in the intricacies of Linux,"
explained Dax Kelson, Co-founder and President.

Devoted to the advancement of Linux, Guru Labs maintains active contribution
to various open source projects.  Guru instructors have been active in the
Linux community for at least 6 years.  Past and current projects include
linux kernel, Wine, Samba, and GNOME and rsync.  Guru Labs also donates 5%
of the profits to sponsoring Linux development.

Courses begin in January of 2000.  Course descriptions, syllabi, and class
dates are detailed on their web-site at www.gurulabs.com
