LIBRA COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES 'LINUX BY LIBRANET'
NORTH VANCOUVER, BC, November 2, 1999 - Libra Computer Systems, a supplier
of UNIX systems and software development, today announced the release of
'LINUX BY LIBRANET'.
Linux by Libranet is based on the world acclaimed Linux release by Debian.
Debian is a volunteer organization that produces the most advanced Linux
distribution available today. The Linux by Libranet distribution builds on
Debian by packaging the most commonly used applications onto an easy to
install CD. This CD installs over 750MB of top rated software including
industry standards such as the Netscape communications suite. Up to now the
Debian distribution was a viable choice mostly for software developers and
technical people. The Libranet release now brings Debian to the desktop,
making it available to users with little or no Linux experience. The CD
which sells at a remarkably low introductory price of $27.00, includes one
year of support via email and fax, Linux HOWTO documentation and the
Debian-Guide, a concise, easy to follow guide to the use of the Debian Linux
Distribution. The CD may be purchased at www.libranet.com.
Linux by Libranet may be used on any standard PC, and will co-exist with
Microsoft Windows. Standard hardware components, for example sound cards,
are supported. Prior to purchasing the CD, users may check their hardware
compatibility free of charge at the Libranet web site.
Jon Danzig, President of Libra Computer Systems commented, "Since building
the Linux by Libranet distribution, we have switched all our own systems,
both workstations and servers, to the Linux by Libranet distribution. We are
most pleased with the operation of the systems, the simplicity of use of the
desktops and the high reliability of the servers. Linux is now a serious
challenge to Microsoft. The Linux by Libranet distribution helps bring this
powerful operating system within the reach of millions of non-technical
computer users."
Periodic software upgrades are available free to download, or for a nominal
charge, on a CD. Debian's unique package manager takes care of software
updates automatically.
Libra Computer Systems is a privately held company based in North Vancouver,
BC, Canada.
