Press Release
Please Release June 3, 2000


LinuxFest2000 adds Red Hat or June Kansas City Event.

Red Hat, the leading provider of open source solutions, has agreed to
participate in  LinuxFest 2000 will be held June 20 through 24, 2000 in
Overland Park, Kansas  (Suburban Kansas City).  The LinuxFest trade show
will be held at the Overland  Park International Trade Center and
feature over 60,000 square feet of  trade show  display space and a four
day seminar track.

Through this event, Red Hat will feature its award winning Red Hat Linux
operating system and embedded tools, as well as demonstrate the
capabilities of the Red Hat Linux Update Agent.  Red Hat will also focus
on customizing solutions for their customers by working with the top
names in the technology industry.

"This will be a major technology event that will permit companies of all
sizes  to see for themselves the benefits of the Linux(R) operating
system.", according  to Greg Palmer, President of Mobius Marketing,
producer of LinuxFest, "LinuxFest  will demonstrate the power of Linux and
Open Source Software for 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.

Major 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.

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