PRESS RELEASE Kangaroot Opens One-stop Linux Shopping Website for Europe For immediate release Belgium, Antwerp - April, 12th 2000 . The Belgium - based linux company KANGAROOT has opened a one-stop shopping point for all European linux -afficionados. Up to now, a lot of European users had to look for their products in the USA, with possible import and transport costs added to the bill. From now on they'll be able to order most Linux distributions and applications from a company within the European Union. "We want to offer a huge choice, fast transport and secure payment for European users," said Peter Dens, one of Kangaroot's driving powers, "without any hidden costs." Besides the software, KANGAROOT will be offering books as well, in an association with Fatbrain, and gadgets for the real linux fans. "We really want to become a reference-point for the European Linux Community. If they want it we'll have it" says Roel Gydé, "and the e-shop is just a first step. A complete on-line help community will be launched soon." As Linux becomes more and more a mainstream OS, KANGAROOT is offering its expertise to both home-users and businesses. "It doesn't end with us selling you the software," says Pepijn Palmans, "if needed we'll give you full support or even do the complete installation or migration for you." "I'm really pleased we can offer these products to all Europeans, they want fast access to new software releases as well, so shipment from the USA takes too long and is too expensive. KANGAROOT is a great alternative now!", explains an enthusiastic Peter Dens. KANGAROOT was founded mid - 1999 and is providing Linux and Networking Solutions for Businesses and home-users. It's based in the heart of Europe : Antwerp, Belgium. For more info please contact : Peter Dens +32 495 45 88 98 peter@kangaroot.net
