Shipment of Linux Office Suite 99 Delayed
—————————————–

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA – October 12, 1998 – S.u.S.E., Inc.
announced today that the shipment of Linux Office Suite 99 will be
delayed. Originally scheduled to ship during the week of October
12, S.u.S.E. now expects the Linux Office Suite to ship closer to
the end of October.

S.u.S.E. cites a bug in Applixware as the reason for the delay.
The problem was corrected before any CDs were shipped. S.u.S.E.
plans to make another announcement soon, once an exact shipment
date has been determined.

Linux Office Suite 99 is the most comprehensive collection of
fully integrated, easy-to-use office tools for Linux. The Office
Suite includes the most recent version of Applixware, as well as
many other features. The numerous applications range from word
processing, spreadsheets, and graphics programs to a database,
desktop fax, and backup utilities. Email, Netscape, web publishing,
and programming software packages are also available in the Linux
Office Suite.

S.u.S.E.’s Linux Office Suite 99 is compatible with all major
distributions of Linux and includes the base system of S.u.S.E.
Linux 5.3 for users who are installing Linux for the first time.
The Linux Office Suite 99 is priced at $79.95. Customers who own a
previous version of Applixware can purchase the Linux Office Suite
for an “upgrade” price of $34.95. More information is available on
S.u.S.E.’s web site at www.suse.com.
