LinuxPR: Rebel.com expands global presence of the NetWinder

"Rebel.com Inc., a leading supplier of Linux, UNIX and Windows NT enterprise solutions, today announced that it has entered into a technology and distribution agreement with KASAN Electronics Corp., a leading manufacturer and distributor of PC peripherals and electronics. The agreement provides KASAN with exclusive rights to market and distribute the NetWinder OfficeServer throughout the Pacific Rim."

"As part of the agreement, KASAN will leverage the NetWinder to the Pacific Rim's rapidly expanding Internet and Web hosting market, which currently stands at approximately 45 million consumers."

"Due to the increased number of Internet users, the Linux thin-server market is expected to grow rapidly in Korea. The Korean government supports the development of Linux OS-based servers, resulting in Linux-based servers being a very affordable alternative for both business (SOHO) and personal usage. It is also estimated that there will be over 100,000 Web hosting operations in Korea by year-end."
