Flame Petro-Minerals Corp. Announces Acquisition SEATTLE, Jan 11, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Flame Petro-Minerals Corp. (OTCBB:FPMCF) wishes to announce that a private company, LinuxWizardry, Inc., has been acquired. 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 on February 2-4, 2000. Michael Carpenter, a software engineer and previous owner of LinuxWizardry, Inc., will remain Chief Information Officer in charge of all future Linux projects including the Linux low-cost router project now underway. Mike Carpenter, CEO of LinuxWizardry, states that "my goal is to build a Linux-based low-cost router at a fraction of the cost of Cisco Systems." (Nasdaq:CSCO, a current leader in router technology.) Cisco sales for the year 1999 were reported at 13 billion dollars. The benefits of the LinuxWizardry router are reported to be: -- Low Cost -- Due to the fact that the router can be produced at an extremely low cost, as it utilizes off-the-shelf personal computers technologies and readily available hardware. -- User Friendliness -- The LinuxWizardry router has a sophisticated graphical configuration screen for ease-of-use. Future versions of this software are expected to be able to control other Network devices such as routers, products from Cisco and firewall products. -- Product Size -- The LinuxWizardry router would be contained in a package of less than 1/2 cubic feet with a distinctive form factor making the product instantly recognizable.
