FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rockwell Science Center Selects Linux NetworX Cluster to Simulate Fluid Flow 
for Aerodynamics Studies

SANDY, Utah, Sept. 12, 2000 - Linux NetworX, Inc., a provider of large-scale 
clustered computer solutions for Internet, industry and research fields, announced 
today that Rockwell Science Center will be using Linux NetworX clustering technology 
for simulating aerodynamic fluid flow in the analysis of aerospace systems. 

Rockwell Science Center's Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) department will 
use the cluster system to develop fluid-simulation software tools that enable 
design evaluation, performance analysis, and trouble shooting in examining how 
the flow of gases and liquids impact space vehicles and military aircraft.

"Compatibility and price-performance are the main reasons we purchased the Linux 
NetworX system," said S.V. Ramakrishnan, manager of CFD at Rockwell Science Center. 
"We wanted to ensure our software runs on clusters that are compatible with those 
used by our customers."

Rockwell is just one of the many organizations that are seeing the benefits offered 
by Linux NetworX systems. 

"Companies that perform highly complicated computer analyses are impressed by 
the price-performance ratio offered by a Linux NetworX cluster system," said 
Clark Roundy, vice president of Linux NetworX. "Overall, customers make decisions 
based on value. Linux NetworX brings value to our customers by providing complete 
cluster solutions that are manageable, easy-to-maintain and cost effective to 
administer."
