Linux NetworX Announces Special Project to Design New Rack Mount Chassis
Unique chassis design to be official unveiled in August 

SANDY, UTAH, June 20, 2000 - Linux NetworX announced today the completion of 
its first phase in a revolutionary engineering effort to provide a more efficient 
alternative to the standard 19-inch chassis designs used in many clustering applications. 
Code named the "Sundance Project", the new design will be unveiled August 15 
at the LinuxWorld trade show in San Jose, Calif., and will feature marked improvements 
to airflow, density and maintenance access.

"Our extensive experience building some of the world's largest clusters has helped 
the Linux NetworX engineering team identify advanced ways to improve critical 
issues not addressed by the standard chassis designs available today," said Glen 
Lowry, president and CEO of Linux NetworX. "Our initial prototype offers significant 
advantages over standard designs. New features include improved cooling and the 
ability to increase the number of processors that can fit into a standard rack 
without adversely effecting system temperature."

The Sundance Project is one of many development projects currently underway at 
Linux NetworX to further advance its cluster technology. The new chassis design, 
along with other upcoming technology developments, will provide Linux NetworX 
customers with the most powerful cluster technology available.
