<h2>SOLID desktop for Linux offered free of charge to developers</h2>
<P>
Solid Information Technology Ltd today announced a campaign
targeted at the community of Linux developers. Between March
and September 1997 Linux enthusiasts will be presented with
a free personal version of the robust SQL database engine
SOLID Server. Numerous commercial and non-commercial web
sites are joining Solid Information Technology Ltd in this
program by letting their web visitors download the free
SOLID Desktop from their site.
<P>
Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, comments on the initiative:
"This generous offer from Solid is warmly welcomed in the Linux
community, and I share the enthusiasm of my fellow Linux
developers around the globe. Solid's campaign manifests the
mutual benefits commercial and non-commercial groups may have."
<P>
"With this campaign we want to show our appreciation of the
voluntary efforts that are so characteristic of the Linux
community," states Artturi Tarjanne, President of Solid
Information Technology Ltd. "In just a few years, Linux
has grown from an academic exercise into a commercially viable
solution. Today, some of the hottest software development
projects on earth are Linux based. Those highly mission-critical
systems need a robust, commercial database management system,
and we've got it. And if anybody is in doubt regarding the
care-free nature of SOLID Server, we offer free technical
support until the end of April 1997."
<P>
The SOLID Desktop for Linux is offered free of charge for anyone
to download from numerous web sites around the world. The licence
is for personal and development use. Solid offers free technical
support until the end of April 1997. Users can at any time choose
to upgrade the software to the commercially available SOLID
Server for client/server applications and SOLID Web Engine for
web applications. SOLID Server is also available on other Unix
systems and on all Windows platforms.
<P>
SOLID Server is a unique product by Solid Information Technology
Ltd, a privately held innovator of breakthrough database
technologies. SOLID Server database components are in embedded
use in web sites, diesel engines, elevator control systems, point
of sale systems, travel agency systems, sales force automation
systems, and many more.
