“VA Linux Systems announced this week that it will tap Loki
Entertainment Software to push the Debian GNU/Linux package to
consumers through retail channels.”

” ‘The initial response we have received for the Debian
GNU/Linux package demonstrates widespread appreciation for the high
quality and exceptional Internet functionality of Debian
GNU/Linux,’ said Brian Biles, vice president of marketing for VA
Linux Systems. ‘Our new relationship with Loki will facilitate
wider distribution of the Debian GNU/Linux package, giving more
users an easy way to try Debian for the first time.’ “

” ‘Debian is currently the most requested Linux distribution
among VA Linux Systems customers,’ stated vice president of
marketing for VA Linux Systems. Proceeds from sales of the
package will be donated to Software in the Public Interest, a
non-profit group.”
