  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                S.u.S.E Announces Support of KDE 1.0.

  OAKLAND,  CALIF & FUERTH, GERMANY (July 29, 1998) - S.u.S.E., Inc.,
  in conjunction with S.u.S.E., GMBH, announced the inclusion of  the
  KDE   desktop environment  in  S.u.S.E.  Linux  5.3,  scheduled for
  release in Germany on August 3.  The international releases of  the
  German and English versions are scheduled for release on August 20,
  with Italian and French versions following in early September.

  S.u.S.E. Linux 5.3 is the first commercial Linux   distribution  to
  include the K Desktop Environment in its entirety.  "KDE, operating
  from a shared commitment to provide the latest  in  precision-engi-
  neered,  open-source  technology, allows users a remarkably stable,
  user-friendly, and customizable desktop environment.  We stand with
  confidence  behind  KDE, and it is our firm belief that any release
  of the Linux operating  system would  be incomplete   without   its
  inclusion,"  said  Scott Winterton, Outreach Director for S.u.S.E.,
  Inc.

  The new and innovative KDE desktop provides a contemporary, network
  transparent desktop environment for the Unix platform.  Among KDE's
  key strengths are its functionality, stability, as well as unprece-
  dented   ease of  use.  A  rich set of KDE applications, exhibiting
  umatched interoperability, is supplied with the K destkop  environ-
  ment.

  S.u.S.E., Inc. and S.u.S.E., GMBH develop and distribute the preci-
  sion-engineered S.u.S.E. Linux Operating system, in addition  to  a
  variety of other commercial Linux applications.
