Jan. 23, 2002

Hillsborough, NC -- (press release excerpt) -- Today Blue Linux is very pleased to announce the release of Blue Linux Release Candidate 1. This release brings the base system and development tools to the public. Included in Blue Linux is Adobe Acrobat Reader 4, Real Player 8, Flash 5, Fully anti-aliased KDE 2.2, and much more.

Blue Linux plans to release several add-on packs in the next few weeks to make this system into a educational dream. "Blue Linux will become a fully open sourced operating system for schools and government." said Matt Jezorek founder of Blue Linux "We plan on building an easy to use and configure system that will run on both PCs and Macintosh systems, to allow a cheap alternative to other operating systems in schools and government."

With this release we bring a easy to install and configure Linux operating system for Intel based systems, we hope to have a release for the Macintosh systems shortly. This release is avaliable on our ftp servers.

The Blue Linux Project is an association of individuals who are interested in creating a free operating system for educational use. Blue Linux systems currently use the Linux kernel.
