Maxspeed and OpenClassroom Combine to Provide Complete, Linux-based
Learning System for Schools
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2000--
Linux Open Source Innovators Enable
Affordable, Customized Educational Experience for Grades K-12
Maxspeed Corporation, the leader in Linux desktop devices, and
OpenClassroom, the first company to offer a complete package of Open
Source software specifically designed for schools, today announced
the formation of a strategic alliance that will offer a complete
client and server solution in the classroom. The companies bring
together the advantages of the Linux operating system and the
adaptable open source educational software.
"We look forward to combining the strengths of our Linux desktop
devices with OpenClassroom's software, for a total Linux educational
solution," said Wei Ching, president and CEO of Maxspeed. "The proven
reliability and significant cost advantages of our desktop devices,
combined with the full suite of services and applications offered by
the OpenClassroom Alpha 02 Server package, provides an economical,
state-of-the art learning experience for K-12 students nationwide."
"Schools are under severe financial pressure to educate more
students with fewer resources," said Jose C. Lacal, OpenClassroom's
Chief Vision Officer. "Maxspeed and OpenClassroom bring the power and
freedom of Linux open source codes to schools in a simple package,
with clear manuals and support services at a very affordable price."
The open source codes used in the software enable users to upgrade
or adapt the software to their individual systems as needed.
Maxspeed's MaxStation desktop devices allow multiple users to share
Linux servers, eliminating the need for costly PCs at each desktop
location. Maxspeed's MaxStations make operation and maintenance of
the system easy and affordable.

About OpenClassroom(TM)
OpenClassroom is a privately-held South Florida-based Internet
start-up that offers schools worldwide a complete Linux-based free
alternative to expensive commercial software.
OpenClassroom's package of software allows schools to create
communities of knowledge by connecting existing PCs (old or new) into
a Local Area Network (LAN), and to the Internet.
At a time of growing media monopolization, the OpenClassroom
software package allows schools to own and operate their own "digital
printing press": Web servers, e-commerce sites, mailing lists, even
an Internet radio station. OpenClassroom lowers the cost of entry
into the media industry by allowing schools to become digital
publishers and knowledge distributors using free Open Source
software. More information is available at
http://www.OpenClassroom.org.

Lacal. All other marks belong to their respective trademark holders.
