Linux NetworX Opens Houston Office
New Office to Meet Increased Demand From Oil and Gas Industry


SANDY, UTAH, Aug. 4, 2000 - Linux NetworX, Inc., a provider of large-scale clustered 
computer solutions for Internet, industry and research fields, today announced 
the opening of its Houston office.  The office is strategically located to meet 
the increasing demand for high performance cluster computing from the oil and 
gas industry.

"The oil and gas industry is experiencing a shift from using supercomputers to 
using Linux clustered systems for high performance computation and seismic imaging 
applications," said Clark Roundy, vice president of Linux NetworX. "The Houston 
office reflects our commitment to the industry." 

The oil and gas industry is one of the largest markets for high performance computing. 
Linux NetworX's clustered systems are ideal for processing the massive amounts 
of seismic data for approximately one-tenth the cost of traditional supercomputers.
