For Immediate Release
  Open Source software and Training Challenges Microsoft

 VANCOUVER, 05/23/00 - “One of the biggest challenges for the Linux
revolution has been the average users’ awareness of its benefits,” says
Michael Omand, documentations specialist with LuteLinux.com, and a
twenty-year veteran of the computer industry.  “It serves 45% of the
Internet, but is largely hidden from view.”

 Enter LuteLinux.  By combining the basic Linux operating system with tools
to make the system easy to install, configure and operate, it is more
friendly and accessible to end users and programmers alike.  In addition to
the software package, LuteLinux.com is partnering with On-Track Computer
Training Ltd, to provide on-line learning and classroom training and
certification of LuteLinux.  Certified users, specialists and trainers will
receive updates, telephone support, technical support, and other extras such
as newsgroups and chat via their website, www.lutelinux.com.

  “Open source software provides a realistic challenge to Microsoft
products, and it’s free on the web,” says Oman.  “It saves everybody money,
and that boosts the bottom line.”

 LuteLinux.com is taking advantage of open-source programming to provide
cutting-edge software, training and support at a fraction of the cost.  They
are delivering a powerful challenge to Microsoft, which will only become
more powerful with the new tools and support that LuteLinux is continually
releasing.   You call download a copy of their recent LuteLinux Lite from
their web site (www.lutelinux.com) at no expense.  They are also offering a
CD-ROM version at cost (4.99), plus shipping expenses.
