For immediate release 

2X releases new version of free PXES Linux thin client: 2X 
ThinClientServer PXES edition

New generation PXES converts PCs to thin clients, centrally manages 
connection settings and runs Windows applications seamlessly

Frankfurt, Germany, 6 July 2006 - 2X today announced an innovative 
upgrade and new name for its popular PXES Linux thin client: 2X 
ThinClientServer PXES edition 3.0. This edition boasts a completely 
new architecture, which includes a server component allowing for 
central management of the connection settings and the thin client OS. 
The new architecture makes migrating PCs to thin clients and 
subsequently managing them, much easier and enables desktop 
virtualization.  

"Existing PXES users can upgrade at no charge to 2X ThinClientServer 
PXES edition and get central connection management, support for new 
hardware and integrated support for running Windows applications on 
the thin client desktop," said Niko Makris. "With 2X ThinClientServer 
PXES edition, any company can experience the advantages of server 
based computing and desktop virtualization without investing in 
hardware or software."

Integrated support for running Windows applications

Integrated into 2X ThinClientServer PXES edition is the Linux client 
of 2X ApplicationServer, which allows any Windows application to be 
tunneled onto the Linux thin client desktop. Administrators can 
centrally control the Windows applications a user, or group of users, 
can run - on the Linux desktop! 

2X ThinClientserver PXES edition is completely free and supports 
connections to Linux or Windows terminal servers. A commercial 
version of 2X ThinClientServer remains available and allows for 
connections to Citrix terminal servers.

Administrators save precious time with 2X ThinClientServer

The combination of a Linux desktop with Windows applications allows 
for tremendous time savings for administrators:
* No more patching of desktops
* No need to deploy new or updated software on desktops
* No more need to update to VISTA or re-install XP
* No need to back up data on desktop machines
