LinuxForce Introduces a New Product for Remote Systems Administration, Named
AdminForce Remote®, Following Successful Six-Month Development and Testing

   Philadelphia, PA - September 11, 2000 -  LinuxForce.net today
   announced its newest product, AdminForce Remote®, that will provide
   significant administrative cost savings and operating efficiencies to
   a broad range of business, institutional, educational, and industrial
   computing systems.

   "AdminForce has been successfully developed and tested over a six
   month period as a versatile remote system administration product,"
   said Charles B. Fleming, president of LinuxForce.

   "AdminForce is a tool for proactively insuring system health and
   operating efficiency," Fleming said.

   A carefully monitored refinement of the new product took place at
   several different sites with a wide range of servers being remotely
   administered. AdminForce was highly praised by the businesses and
   institutions that participated as development sites.

   AdminForce features comprehensive local and remote monitoring; IP,
   TCP, and UDP service availability monitoring; anomaly alerting and
   investigation; application of LinuxForce's advanced maintenance and
   security policies and procedures, as well as comprehensive reporting
   on work performed and the systems vital statistics.

   Fleming noted that IT professionals can focus on application
   enhancements with the assurance that a stable AdminForce platform
   supports them.

   The IT professionals with servers in-house as well as those collocated
   found that using AdminForce reduced maintenance costs and that
   unscheduled down time had been significantly reduced.

   Fleming said that the AdminForce monitoring systems would be
   structured and located to insure redundancy for the client base.

   Detailed information about AdminForce is now available on a new web
   site: http://www.LinuxForce.net/AdminForce. The LinuxForce general
   web site continues to be available at http://www.LinuxForce.net.
