Dear SUSE LINUX customers and friends!

We are pleased to announce the release of SUSE LINUX 9.0, which provides
both a version for 32-bit operating system environments and a product for
the recently released AMD Athlon 64 processor, enabling workstation users
performance enhancements available only through the 64-bit architecture.

Come and visit your SUSE team at the Linux Expo 2003 next week at Olympia
and see the latest OS in action - you can pre-register at:

SUSE LINUX 9.0

Enhanced support for the NTFS file system used by Microsoft Windows
enables users to more easily repartition the hard disk space - giving them
the opportunity to take advantage of the stability and security of Linux,
while maintaining the ability to access the Windows client when/if needed.

SUSE LINUX 9.0 is based on a SUSE optimized Linux kernel 2.4.21, that
enables users to benefit now from many of 2.6 kernel enhancements --
including improved scheduling, advanced Linux sound architecture and
greater support for power management. For test purposes, 9.0 also contains
a test version of the 2.6 kernel -- for technically skilled users.

SUSE LINUX 9.0 includes the latest versions of KDE 3.1.4 and
OpenOffice.org 1.1., Gnome 2.2.2, Mozilla 1.4 and Samba 2.2.8.a,
providing the most innovative Linux technologies for experienced users.
