VA Linux Launches 'SourceForge OnSite' Enterprise Solution Agilent Technologies' Central Research Lab to Deploy SourceForge OnSite Collaborative Development System (CDS) FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 5, 2000-- VA Linux Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:LNUX - news) today announced the availability of ``SourceForge(TM) OnSite,'' a ground-breaking subscription service built on the Web-based collaborative development system (CDS) powering SourceForge.net, the world's largest Open Source development center. Installed behind customers' corporate firewalls, SourceForge OnSite provides a turn-key collaboration system--fully customized, implemented and supported by VA Linux Professional Services--for enterprise-class customers that want to leverage Open Source tools and methods for internal software development. Agilent Technologies' central research lab is one of the first VA Linux customers to deploy SourceForge OnSite to support its geographically distributed development teams. The SourceForge collaborative development system is a proven, powerful platform, currently supporting more than 12,000 software projects worldwide--including XFree86, KDE, Python and MySQL--and over 92,000 registered users via SourceForge.net. Building Better Software, Faster SourceForge OnSite provides an integrated toolset for centralized code, project and knowledge management in a secure environment. By deploying SourceForge OnSite, enterprise IT developers, independent software vendors and consulting firms can take advantage of significant efficiencies enabled by SourceForge within their own companies: code re-use and archives, enhanced communication within and across geographically distributed development teams, and standardization on a single toolset. As a Web-based technology, SourceForge is cross-platform, customizable and compatible with many existing development and support technologies. SourceForge OnSite features include bug tracking, patch management, task management, source control, code sharing, communication, support/issue tracking, document management, team productivity analysis and statistical reporting functionality. ``SourceForge OnSite provides an enterprise-class collaborative development system that enables our customers to leverage SourceForge internally, and focus on their core-competencies rather than worrying about the maintenance and support of their development infrastructures,'' said John ``Tiberius'' Hall, vice president of strategic planning, VA Linux Systems. ``With the rapid growth and proven success of SourceForge.net as the world's largest ASP for Open Source developers, many companies have expressed interest in deploying a customized, supported version of SourceForge as a next-generation infrastructure enabling more efficient software development within their organizations.'' Agilent Laboratories to Deploy SourceForge OnSite Agilent Laboratories, Agilent Technologies' central research organization, will be deploying SourceForge OnSite to provide its geographically distributed development teams with an integrated, cross-platform development environment. In reviewing various alternatives, Agilent Laboratories sought a proven solution with extensive vendor support, with the ability to scale enterprise-wide and support its mission to develop cutting-edge technologies and business opportunities for Agilent Technologies. ``The growth in both the size and scope of collaborative development endeavors at Agilent Laboratories has created a need for a centralized, scalable development environment, that supports geographically distributed teams,'' said William Shreve, director of Agilent's Systems and Solutions Laboratory. ``We are very impressed with the demonstrated success of VA Linux SourceForge technology, and we anticipate that SourceForge OnSite will become a tool for support of both collaborative development and software technology transfer from Agilent Laboratories to Agilent Technologies product groups.''

Careful tomorrow. There is one case that goes to court and it is a real wild card. If this one goes against Bush he will probably lose the Fla vote. IMO it should not but the judge is a real wild card here. Bush's lawyers tried to get her dismissed because she was passed over by brother Jeb a few months back. She may well try and make a name for herself here.

<<<negative talk>>> after this many days of dropping what are we suppose to talk about... how we are going up? ALL threads are facing a drop in post. Most investors are longs not shorts since you can make only 99.9% profit short and your loss could be unlimited....were a long can make way more. and the lost is limited.

Hoffy, I can't belive what a big day I had today. I took money out of money market's last Thursday and just started to load up. I just decided enough was enough and I would wait a couple a year or two if I really had to. Of course, after today and tomorrow I will be looking at shorts. I think if played right this could be better than any 1 direction market.I am playing it for lot's of volatility both ways with 2-3 day swings. Cray
