LinuxForce Launches Three New Educational Initiatives for Business Leaders

Philadelphia, PA - 20 October 2009 - LinuxForce, Inc., a leading
information technology services firm and a thought leader in the
management of Linux and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), today
announced the launch of three new educational initiatives to help
organizations working to do more with technology at a lower cost.

The three new educational tools include a free seminar on 29 October
2009, an industry blog and a website. Each is focused on helping educate
the business community about effectively managing free and open source
software (FOSS) to deliver business results and lower costs.

In these tough economic times, the high cost of investing in and upgrading
expensive business software has become a source of increasing concern. The
growing industry move to Linux and FOSS has provided a reliable, secure,
lower cost alternative to more traditional software tools. LinuxForce
is dedicated to helping people understand the real power of open source
software so that more organizations can make the transition to Linux-based
FOSS systems.

"These three educational initiatives will help organizations learn more
about managing FOSS to lower costs and achieve business results", says
CJ Fearnley, LinuxForce's CEO. "The seminar, blog and website will each
provide insights on the benefits of using a FOSS infrastructure."

The free educational seminar, entitled "Managing FOSS for Business
Results", will be held on Thursday, October 29, from 9 am to 12 pm,
at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA. A team of FOSS subject
experts will share information with attendees on how to leverage the
benefits of FOSS to achieve business results. Seating is limited,
call 610-734-1900 or find out more on the event registration page,
http://www.RemoteResponder.net/2009.10.seminar.html.

The new LinuxForce blog (http://blog.RemoteResponder.net) will address
issues of concern to business, financial, and technology leaders as
well as provide commentary on the IT industry, systems and network
administration, and security. In addition to its focus on the benefits
of FOSS and on how to manage FOSS, the blog will cover topics such as
reviews of the best in breed FOSS and other FOSS resources, installation,
configuration, integration, automation, delegation, migration, upgrades,
and more.

The LinuxForce team has also launched a new website,
www.RemoteResponder.net to explain the business benefits of professional
management of FOSS. FOSS encompasses thousands of applications and tools
(including the Apache web server, the Linux operating system, databases
such as PostgreSQL and MySQL, the Samba file server, Nagios for network
monitoring); making decisions about which to use and how to integrate
them is made easier with expert help. Our website documents some of the
benefits that a partnership with LinuxForce can provide.

For organizations considering the use of Linux and/or FOSS to reduce
their operational costs, or interested in finding out more about these
alternatives, the website, blog, and seminar provide new resources to
help understand the management of FOSS-based systems.
