Linux sleeper perhaps? No boards and no talk about this company as far as I know. FPMCF Flame Petro-Minerals Corp. Announces Acquisition SEATTLE, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Flame Petro-Minerals Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: FPMCF - news) wishes to announce that it has acquired a private company, LinuxWizardry, Inc. LinuxWizardry, Inc. has commenced building a Linux based, low-cost router that provides a simple drag and drop JAVA user interface for configuration protocol routing called the ''LinuxWizardry Router.'' The LinuxWizardry router will be presented at the Linux World Conference and Expo in New York February 2-4 2000. Michael Carpenter, a software engineer and previous owner of LinuxWizardry, Inc. will remain with LinuxWizardry as Chief Information Officer in charge of all future Linux projects including the Linux low-cost router project now underway. Mike Carpenter, CIO of LinuxWizardry states that, ''My goal is to build a Linux-based low-cost router at a fraction of the cost of Cisco Systems'' (a current leader in router technology). Cisco sales for the year 1999 were reported at $13 billion. John Robertson, CEO of Flame Petro-Minerals Corp. states, ''Most small businesses do not have and cannot afford to have a network specialist on staff to manage the network router. A network expert is very expensive and an unskilled amateur encounters great difficulty with the current generation of products. The LinuxWizardry router will allow these businesses to take control of their networks for the first time.'' The benefits of the LinuxWizardry router are: * Low Cost The router can be produced at an extremely low cost as it utilizes off-the-shelf personal computer technologies and readily available hardware. * User Friendly The LinuxWizardry router has a sophisticated graphical configuration screen for ease-of-use. Future versions of this software are expected to be capable of controlling other Network devices such as router products from Cisco and firewall products. * Product Size The LinuxWizardry router would be contained in a package of less than 2 cubic feet with a distinctive form factor making the product instantly recognizable. About Flame Petro-Minerals Corp. Flame Petro-Minerals Corp. (www.flamepetro.com) is a public company with operations in British Columbia, Canada. Flame is a fully reporting company on the OTC Bulletin Board (Symbol FPMCF). The Company has diversified into the Linux-based technology sector by acquiring 100% ownership in LinuxWizardry, Inc. About LinuxWizardry, Inc. LinuxWizardry, Inc. (www.linuxwizardry.com) is a private company with operations in Florida. LinuxWizardry's strategy is to develop and market a Linux-based low-cost router that will be user friendly and to develop and market other Linux-based enterprise software and hardware for end-to-end networking solutions for small businesses.
