Long awaited launch of Linux and “Geek” issue related
webcast network becomes a reality.

“Jeff Gerhardt, CEO of IBSS Inc, made the formal announcement
today of the official launch of GeekCast.Com Networks. “It is no
secret, said Gerhardt, that we have been in development of a
network launch since early this year. It was a lot more difficult
to get this project done than we thought, but we are very happy to
see the goal on the near horizon. Even in todays investment climate
where people love investments with the name Linux on them, it was
real tricky to get them to accept the paradyne shift in the
broadcasting model we are preposing. After seeing the guest list
and numbers of The Linux Show!!, people are now beginning to take
this venture very seriously.”

“IBSS is the company that produces and owns The Linux Show!! the
top Linux Webcast in the United States (and maybe the world). The
Linux Show!! has been on the air for over a year doing weekly
webcasts focused on the Linux Community. Due to the success of The
Linux Show!!, Gerhardt and his partners have been developing a
network focused on Linux as well as other Geek issues.”
