“SuSE Linux Ltd, Europe’s leading Linux distributor, will be
hosting the first UK Linux Conference on 1st June at the Olympia
Conference Centre in London.”

“The Conference, in association with IBM, is set to position
Linux as a viable option for the corporate desktop, whilst
preserving its traditional role of powering many corporate servers.
Leading industry figures, including Larry Augustin of VA Linux,
Alan Cox of Red Hat, Dirk Hohndel of SuSE Linux and Vice President
of the Xfree86 Project, and John Hall from Linux International,
will discuss issues ranging from the origins and direction of
Linux, to the increasing relevance it has in the business
environment today.”

In keeping with the vendor-neutral ethos of Linux, the
conference will take a generic look at the adoption of Linux and
delegates from all corners of the business community will hear
about the virtues of an operating system which is robust, secure,
versatile and cost effective.
