| VA Linux Systems | VA Linux to Acquire
Andover.Net in Most Significant Transaction in Linux History NEW YORK, NY -- Feb. 3, 2000- VA Linux Systems, a leading Linux and Open Source solutions company, today announced the acquisition of Andover.Net, the leading Linux destination on the Internet, in a transaction that could revolutionize the Linux market space. VA Linux will own and operate the most popular Open Source developer network. This reinforces VA Linux's position as the only public company in the United States to offer exclusively Open Source systems, software, service and Web-based developer solutions. ``This acquisition moves VA Linux forward on the path to being the biggest name in Linux and Open Source,'' said Dr. Larry M. Augustin, founder, president and CEO of VA Linux Systems. ``With our purchase of Andover.Net, we can offer the developer community better infrastructure for Open Source development, and expand the range and effectiveness of solutions available to our customers.'' Editor's comment:- it's expensive for computer companies to advertise on the web, and owning the media in your industry is a well established tradition. Sun Microsystems for example sells advertising space on its own web sites. The reverse can also occur, with a web publisher becoming a significant investor in a software company, as we saw in another news story this week:- ZDNet invests in i-drive. This publication SPARC Product Directory, is independent of any systems or software company, although we're happy to take advertising dollars from any company that has products which are closely aligned with our editorial focus. |

KEEMUX-P2U KVM Switch Connects to Computers with both USB and Legacy PS/2 Ports
AURORA, OH, February 2 - Network Technologies Inc today announced the immediate availability of its new KEEMUX-P2U Universal KVM Switch. At a suggested retail price of $355, this KVM switch provides users with the flexibility of controlling any two CPUs equipped with only USB ports, only PS/2 legacy keyboard and mouse ports, or a both, with just one monitor, PS/2 keyboard and mouse. CPU selection can be controlled from a front-panel selector, by remote or by typed commands from the attached keyboard. Since the USB connection is a high-speed connection, this switch allows USB users to minimize the USB bandwidth necessary to control the keyboard and mouse, maximizing the bandwidth available for other high-speed devices. NTI units connect between computers and peripherals, are easy to use, and require no special tools or software for immediate operation. High-resolution video is supported up to 1900x1200. |
