(OTC BB:ABID)
Showstar Online.com, Inc. (OTC BB:ABID) today announced a strategic
decision to develop its existing Internet products and many of the
Company's new innovations on the Linux operating system.
"This is an important strategic move. Utilizing Linux has significant
advantages and will make our web technology applications more stable,
reliable and cost effective." said Showstar Online.com President John
Punzo. "By committing to the Linux platform Showstar can continue to
implement its aggressive rapid application technology strategy."
Linux is highly compatible with other systems and software, allowing it
to be efficiently integrated and to reliably coexist in networks.
"Considering Linux's stability, security and compatibility advantages,
it makes sense for technology companies serious about their future to
incorporate Linux into their product offerings," said John Barson,
Showstar's Director of Research and Development. "We see web technology
changing and improving so rapidly; we believe Linux will allow us to be
more innovative and capable of adapting to this new environment."
Showstar Online joins an increasing group of Internet and e-commerce
solutions developers and providers that are working on Linux. According
to Netcraft's Web Server Survey in December 1999, more than half of all
web sites are now running on the Linux based Apache server.
