Jul. 2, 2003 05:00 PM

(July 2, 2003) - On August 5, SYS-CON Media will be launching the premier issue of Linux.SYS-CON.com at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo? being held August 4 - 7, 2003, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

Linux.SYS-CON.com, spearheaded by editor-in-chief Kevin Bedell and deputy editor Alan Williamson, is aimed specifically at CIOs and IT managers seeking guidance and insight on the implications of Linux adoption in the enterprise.

Each month Linux.SYS-CON.com will show them why and how Linux and open source can benefit their organizations, and will help bring Linux "out of the back room and into the boardroom," as Bedell puts it.

The editorial advisory board of Linux.SYS-CON.com includes Linux luminaries such as Oracle's Wim Coekaerts, IBM's Scott Handy, Ximian's Miguel de Icaza, and Mandrake's Ga?l Duval.

The launch issue is full to bursting with articles, insights, interviews, and features - plus free Open Source software via a DVD with a fully-featured distro of the popular Mandrake Linux operating system.

Linux.SYS-CON.com will be at Booth #1190
