*** SuSE Linux Knowledge Portal Debuts February 7, 2001 ***

NUREMBERG, GERMANY - February 7, 2001 - Today, SuSE Linux, the
international technology leader and solutions provider in Open Source
operating system, announced the new SuSE Linux Knowledge Portal,
offering extensive first-hand information about Linux. The new Internet
service, available February 7, can be accessed on the Web at
http://portal.suse.de and http://portal.suse.com.

With a wide range of topics, from application descriptions to firewall
implementation or installing high availability solutions, the Portal
provides useful information to Linux desktop newcomers as well as
experienced system administrators.

"Info channels" highlight reports on Linux and Open Source from different
news providers. Personal preferences, such as theme and news delivery, are
determined and saved by the user and allow a unique viewing experience.

The full text search engine finds any keyword in a vast array of articles.
The editorial desk welcomes suggestions regarding subjects users would like
to read about. Articles can also be submitted for publication.

The SuSE Linux Knowledge Portal addresses company independent Linux issues
and is a perfect complement to SuSE's up-to-date Support Database and the
unique Component Database.

"With our large staff of development engineers contributing directly to the
development of Linux, SuSE is uniquely qualified to be the source of a Linux
portal," commented Volker Wiegand, President of SuSE Inc. "We trust that users
will find the Linux Knowledge Portal a useful reference point."
