O'REILLY LAUNCHES TECHNICAL PORTAL
O'Reilly Network's First Developer Center Provides In-depth Resources
for Linux Community

New York, NY--O'Reilly Network has announced the launch of its
technical portal (http://www.oreillynet.com) and, in conjunction with
LinuxWorld Expo, its new Linux DevCenter (http://oreilly.linux.com).
The portal provides deep technical resources and information for
developers interested in open and emerging technologies, including new
platforms, programming languages, and operating systems.

The O'Reilly Network, a subsidiary of technical publisher O'Reilly &
Associates, has launched with five affiliates in addition to the
O'Reilly Linux DevCenter:  XML.com, Apache Week, MySQL.com,
Servlets.com, and www.perl.com.  DevCenters are planned for several of
the affiliates, to be rolled out in 2000. More affiliates will also be
added during the coming year, according to O'Reilly Network publisher
Dale Dougherty. O'Reilly Network plans to sustain the sites through
advertising revenue.

The O'Reilly LinuxDevCenter will be featured on linux.com through an
agreement with VA Linux Systems. The DevCenter features original
content as well as information from highly-regarded O'Reilly &
Associates Linux books and authors. The site includes an up-to-date
database of Linux distributions, daily news, weekly features, technical
resources, in-depth tutorials, and the Linux discussion forum.  The
DevCenter is designed for system and network administrators,
application developers, operating system developers, and Linux power
users.
