Company to Sign Manufacturing and Reseller Agreement with EBIZ Enterprises

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, May 3, 2001 - Linux NetworX, a leading provider of powerful 
and easy-to-manage Linux cluster computing solutions, announced today it will 
not be acquired by EBIZ Enterprises Incorporated (OTCBB: EBIZ). Regular business 
functions will continue without interruption.

"Our business has been very good in the last several months and our goal of providing 
superior products to our customers has not changed.  Several new opportunities 
offer very positive and promising ways to achieve this goal," said Glen Lowry, 
president and CEO of Linux NetworX. "We still look forward to a productive and 
mutually beneficial business relationship between Linux NetworX and EBIZ Enterprises." 

Linux NetworX and EBIZ Enterprises announced a planned acquisition March 22. 
As part of the planned acquisition, the two companies signed a letter of intent 
for an operating agreement allowing EBIZ to manufacture Linux NetworX cluster 
compute nodes in its Houston, Texas Technology Center. 

A new operating agreement between the two companies will allow EBIZ to manufacture 
certain components of Linux NetworX cluster systems. EBIZ will also join the 
LNXI Cluster Partner Program to become a non-exclusive reseller of Linux NetworX 
cluster computer solutions.
