> Santa Clara CA, January XX, 1999

> Today the Linux software development team, led by Linus Torvalds release a
> major new of the the Linux operating system. This update brings advanced
> scalability, broad support for newer hardware, and a large collection of
> low-level features.
> Highlights include:
>
> * Advanced network routing and WAN support, which gives Linux the
> ability to replace many expensive proprietary network devices.
> Users can take control of their intranet with priority traffic,
> usage limits, accounting, and virtual private networks. Strong
> 128-bit encryption is available as an add-on component.
>
> * Y2K compliance.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It's been Y2k complient from the get go.. (there have
been a few hardware workarounds)
By saying this, you imply that 2.0 wasn't y2k compliant. You can insted
mention that Linux has always been y2k complient in the text someplace.
You might want to replace this line with
* Preliminary support for 128bit IPv6 addressing.
> * Enterprise-level network filesystem support, complete with data
> replication for performance, mobility, and reliability.
>
> * Video capture support, TV tuner support, simplified audio support,
> and other multimedia enhancements.
>
> * Support for a large variety of parallel port devices including
> disk drives, tape drives, and other easy-to-use external devices.
>
> * Greater performance, especially while under heavy load or while
> running on computers with multiple processors.
>
> * Compatibility support for reading BSD and NT filesystems. Easy
> access to documents stored on NTFS-format disks will facilitate
> the upgrade from legacy NT systems to Linux.
>
> Advanced technical users are already using this update, available
> from the Internet. Linux vendors will begin shipping fully integrated
> systems using the new kernel in March. Business users will be
> able to obtain the update on CD-ROM distributions.
>
> Linux is a secure network operating system for demanding users.
> It interoperates well with a wide variety of other systems.
> Linux can take advantage of modern PC and PowerMac hardware
> or give new life to older 486-based computers. Several other
> processors, including the 64-bit Alpha and Sparc 64 are also
> supported. Support is widely available via both traditional contracts
> and cost-effective Internet groups. Linux is provided under an
> unlimited-use license that lets users make in-house customizations
> to the system itself. Initial estimates suggest that Linux had 10
> to 20 million users at the end of 1998.
>
> Linus Torvalds, originally from Finland, lives with his family in Santa
> Clara CA, USA. He and others created Linux as an alternative to
> commercial operating systems after becoming disillusioned with the
> poor quality of commercial alternatives.
