FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lineo and Metro Link to Provide New Micro-X Graphics Solution for Embedix
SDK

Ft. Lauderdale, FL May 15, 2001 - Metro Link announced today a licensing
agreement with LineoT, Inc. under which Lineo will provide their customers
with Metro Link's new Micro-X Complete!T Software Development Kit (SDK) for
the Lineo embedded Linux-based development tool chain, Embedix T SDK. Lineo
and Metro Link will work together to provide the Micro-X Complete! SDK as a
seamless add-on technology to an Embedix SDK solution.

Micro-X Complete! SDK is a combination of Metro-XT, mission-critical X
server, and Micro-XT, standards-based embedded X server. The SDK contains
Metro Link's new "MicroScope" utility that runs with Metro-X on a developer'
s host computer to analyze application requirements for a Micro-X graphics
implementation on the target system, utilizing the same X Window System.
Developers will be able to use Micro-X's small footprint to perform 2D/3D
graphics, video-in-a-window and MPEG playback running Embedix on their
set-top box, web pad, residential gateway, or other next generation Internet
appliance.  Developers will have the option of selecting from multiple
Micro-X implementations or work with Metro Link to build a custom
configured, reduced footprint X server, which includes five custom builds.

"Lineo is pleased to be a channel reseller of Micro-X Complete!," said Bryan
Sparks, Lineo President and CEO. "OEMs desire an SDK that will build the
multimedia applications found in today's web pads, set top boxes and other
smart network devices. The Micro-X Complete! SDK is a powerful tool that
will enable developers to build the smart device of the future."

Based on the embedded application's requirements, Micro-X is custom
configured to the smallest size possible when implemented.  This results in
the smallest possible memory footprint for the application, ready for
deployment to the developer's target system running x86 or PowerPC.

"Metro Link's Micro-X Complete! is the perfect fit for Lineo.  Developers
will be able to use our X server to design the latest embedded products,"
said Morgan Von Essen, Metro Link President and CEO.  "We look forward to
supporting Lineo customers with the smallest standards-based graphics
solution possible for their embedded applications."
