from Trustix AS is posted here. -BKP]
The Trustix Board of Directors decided to file for bankruptcy on
the last week of September, 2003. We therefore regret to inform you
that all sales and support of the Trustix Linux Solutions product
line will be suspended until further notice.
After declining sales due to very challenging market conditions
in 2003, the Trustix Board of Directors initiated talks with
several potential acquisition partners during second and third
quarters of 2003. However, this did not yield a satisfactory result
and Trustix AS filed for bankruptcy on the 29th of September 2003,
according to Norwegian law
