Press Release

         JBSi Added To LinuxFest2000 Scheduled For Kansas City

It's "Kansas City Here I Come" for Linux, the fastest growing, most
talked
about operating system of the decade. LinuxFest 2000 will be held June
20
through 23, 2000 for Seminars and Forums and June 21-24 for the Trade
show.

"Our goal," according to Greg Palmer, President of Mobius Marketing,
producer of LinuxFest, "is to demonstrate the power of Linux and Open
Source Software to IT and business owners across the US and specifically

the heartland of America."

Recent spectacular IPO's by Red Hat, VA Linux, Cobalt and Andover.net
have
taken the stock market by storm and LinuxFest2000 will be the first
opportunity for the Midwest to see what the excitement is all about.

One of the exhibitors to LinuxFest is JBSi (Jones Business Systems,
Incorporated). JBSi is a national system integrator and white box
manufacturer.

"LinuxFest is the one best place to talk to prospective customers about
our
Terian line of built-to-order computing solutions," according to Curt
Tueffert, JBSi VP of Sales.

"No one else does built-to-order like JBSi does," continued Tueffert.
"Terian systems from JBSi are the most completely configurable white box

systems on the market today. Terian customers can specify everything
about
the hardware and software, from the specific type of network interface
card
to almost all the Linux operating system parameters."

JBSi decided to exhibit at LinuxFest because of the location of the show

and the expected large attendance. "We're growing fast and we plan to
keep
growing for the foreseeable future," continued Tueffert. "There's no
better
place to find future partners than one of the premier Linux shows."

Other well-known companies like IBM, Compaq, Informix and Oracle have
committed to Linux, however most people are exposed to Linux on a daily
basis, because Linux powers much of the World Wide Web.

Over 60,000 square feet of space will be dedicated to booths. Seminars
will
cover the simple to the most complex computer topics.

Most of the established major Linux companies will be represented, plus
many startup cutting edge companies will also be in attendance.
