OAKLAND, CALIF & FUERTH, GERMANY (July 22, 1998) - S.u.S.E., Inc. is pleased to announce the latest release of its flagship product, S.u.S.E. Linux version 5.3. Linux is a 32-bit multi-user, multitasking variant of the UNIX operating system. The platform was, and continues to be, developed by many of the world's foremost developers. S.u.S.E.'s commitment to precision engineering continues with an option for quicker and easier installation, support for FAT32 file systems, and the ability to run and install both glibc-based and libc-based packages. S.u.S.E. Linux continues to excel in the areas of speed, stability, and security, at a price far less than a single-user license for more expensive Windows NT and UNIX platforms. In addition, the availability of the entire source code allows users to tailor the system to fit their individual needs. Among more than 800 Linux software titles included in version 5.3 are the popular Netscape Communicator web browser version 4.05, the remarkably attractive and customizable KDE window manager, and the Gnome desktop environment. The extensive, 400-page reference manual is an informative resource which guides the user through the processes of installation and partitioning, integrating multiple operating systems, basic Linux commands, setting up and configuring the GUI and window managers, and much more. Version 5.3 also includes S.u.S.E.'s own Xfree86 3.3.2.3 XServer, which provides optimum hardware compatibility by supporting a wide variety of graphics cards and chipsets, including most AGP, PCI, and Permedia chipsets. Furthermore S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 comes with SaX (SuSE advanced X-configuration), a graphical administration tool to configure the X Window System. S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 is scheduled for a tentative release date in early September at a price of US $ 49.95. It may be purchased via our subscription service at a price of US $ 34.95.
