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.
