PRESS RELEASE

FEBRUARY 6, 1996


"Official" Red Hat LINUX OS available for Digital ALPHA Computers.

Westport CT., Red Hat Software announced today the immediate availability of
the first "Official" Release of Red Hat(tm) LINUX OS for Digital Equipment
Corporation's low cost Alpha based workstations.

"This simply shatters the multi-user multi-tasking OS pricing model. 
Running Red Hat LINUX on Digital's amazingly fast Alpha workstations is a
price/performance breakthrough of remarkable proportions" said Bob Young,
President of Red Hat Software, Inc.  "Building OS's in cooperation with
Internet based developers, researchers, and academics from around the world
enables us to develop and deliver huge amounts of reliable leading edge
technology at prices that appear too good to be true for buyers of
traditionally developed OS software."

"Digital is pleased to be working with Red Hat Software, Inc. to lower the
entry cost of installing advanced multi-user, multi-tasking computer
systems.  Our 64-bit Alpha-based systems combined with Red Hat's reliable and
stable 64-bit Red Hat LINUX OS provides a complete leading edge desktop at a
cost far less than many single user PC systems," said Jon Hall of Digital
Equipment Corporation.  "Furthermore, the availability of freely
distributable binaries and source code in such an advanced system will be a
boon to research of every type, everywhere."

Red Hat LINUX is the leading distribution of the Linux OS for academic,
research, and commercial use, and includes many remarkable features
including unlimited licenses with every CD sold,  and complete source code
included with every license.

Technical features include the X Window system, full UNIX(r)-like networking
suite including TCP/IP, Slip, PPP, Ethernet support, Sendmail, Email, World
Wide Web server and browser, and much more.

Linux is the cooperatively built OS that has become a leading OS for running
Internet servers, as well as becoming common as Unix-like workstations and
servers at  commercial, research, and academic organizations around the
world.  Begun in 1992 by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki, Linux
borrows liberally from the growing inventory of freely distributable
software  from the Free Software Foundation, MIT,  the X Consortium, Cygnus
Support, and literally thousands of other developers.

Red Hat Software, Inc.
Red Hat Software, builds and maintains the Red Hat distribution of the LINUX
Operating System.  Working in cooperation with a huge development team of
research, academic, and commercial software developer volunteers over the
Internet, Red Hat's goal is to build the easiest to install and simplest to
administer LINUX OS.  Red Hat also publishes and distributes commercial
applications for the LINUX OS.
