RED HAT LINUX TO BE INSTALLED ON 15,200 SERVERS IN RETAIL CHAIN
In one of the largest Linux distributions ever, Japanese retailer
Lawson, Inc. plans to install 15,200 servers running Red Hat
Linux. The servers, part of IBM's new eServer xSeries, will be
used in about 7,600 convenience stores to power the stores'
"Loppi" kiosks. Customers will use these kiosks to book airline
and concert tickets, as well as download music, movies, and
other Web content.

RED HAT EMBEDDED LINUX CHOSEN FOR THIN CLIENT POS SYSTEM
Red Hat has joined with Wincor Nixdorf to develop the BEETLE
Point-of-Sale (POS) system based on Embedded Linux, called
the BEETLE NetPOS. The intelligent, scalable, thin client
systems are server-centric to help counter the high costs
of software distribution and system maintenance.

Stronghold 3 before December 1, we'll throw in a copy of Red
Hat Professional Server for free. (That's a $179.95

SUCCESS STORY OF THE MONTH: ELEKTRO-MATERIAL AG, ZURICH
With a catalog of more than 80,000 items, Elektro-Material AG
(EM) is the leading wholesale supplier to the Swiss electrical
installation industry. EM, a subsidiary of global Internet
solutions provider Alcatel, has the motto "one order, one
delivery, one invoice," and it takes a lot of logistical
coordination to make this decentralized enterprise work
efficiently. In 1999 EM processed more than 1 million orders,
and recognized the need for an enterprise-wide computing
solution that would bring file, print, and email services
to every desktop in the company.
"Constant growth and rising demands on the computer system
made the installation of a network inevitable," says Heinz
Frei, director of Information Technology for EM. "We needed
an infrastructure that would allow us to take full advantage
of a PC environment."

UNDER THE BRIM CONTEST 13 RESULTS: RED HAT LINUX ROCKS ON
Last month we asked you to choose a song that best matches your
non-Red Hat Linux OS experience. We received some great entries.
And we really want to thank everyone who wrote to us and said
they enjoyed the contest. So did we. Here are some of the
entries we liked best:
The sentimental favorite, from Rowdy de Beer...
U2 "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" / Rattle and Hum
The highly evolved, from Dave Miller...
Mozart "Requiem"
The 90s one-hit wonder, from Chris Delaney...
"(I Hate) Everything About You" - Ugly Kid Joe / America's Least
Wanted
The wow, great choice, but just can't beat the Bradys, from
Alan Eldridge...
David Bowie "Always Crashing in the Same Car" / Low
And the winner, from Kevin Martin, who dug deep into the past
and came up with pure 70s television greatness:
Brady Bunch "Time to Change" / Meet the Brady Bunch
C'mon sing it with us, Peter's cracking voice and all...
"When it's time to chaa--aa-nge!!"
Nice work, Kevin.
-----------------------------------------
UNDER THE BRIM CONTEST 14: SHADOW MAN POWER--ACTIVATE!
Superman is really strong. Wonder Woman deflects bullets with
her bracelets. The Incredible Hulk turns green, splits his
pants, and runs around in cut-offs. If the Shadow Man (the
guy in our logo) were a superhero, what would his special
power be?
Send your entries to utb@redhat.com
The winner will receive an official Red Hat fedora signed by
Red Hat founder Bob Young, the original Shadow Man superhero
who continues the fight for truth, justice, and the Canadian
way.
Please keep the entries short, preferably fewer than 25 words.
By submitting your entry, you give us permission to publish it
in next month's Under the Brim. If you'd rather not see your
name published in the newsletter, please mention this when you
send your entry. One entry per person, please.
Note: If you send in your entry and don't win, we will not
honor requests for a recount. Even if it's real close. Sorry.
