Yes we are.  I will be happy to show you an alpha version of our next
release, based on the 2.4 kernel at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in
New York City later this week, if you will be there.  We will be
previewing the version based on the 2.4 kernel on Compaq ProLiant
servers, and showing our -9 version, based on the 2.2.19 kernel, on the
newly announced Compaq ProLiant blades.

I would invite anyone and everyone to stop by the Compaq booth and see
us.

Thanks.
Peter
