FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


VENDOR ANNOUNCES NEW LINUX DISTRIBUTION FOR APPLE MACINTOSH

MIAMI, FL -- June 10, 1998 --  User's of Apple Computer, Inc.
Macintosh who wish to join the Linux revolution that's sweeping the
computer industry now have a new version of Linux tailored just for
them. Al Guerra Enterprises, Inc. has announced it has begun shipping
a preliminary version of Apokalypse=81, its Linux distribution for
PowerPC-based Macintoshes for only $24.99.

Apokalypse will offer several user-friendly enhancements while still
providing the sophisticated features of an advanced operating system
like Linux. Users have been clamoring for protected memory 
management and pre-emptive multitasking on the Mac for years, says
Al Guerra, president of the company. Not only are we providing it 
for them now in a low-cost solution, but because Linux is 
POSIX-compliant and not  a system that uses a new programming
interface, users can run the thousands of tools and applications
written for POSIX systems now instead of waiting for software vendors
to develop programs from scratch.

The preliminary version of Apokalypse, dubbed pre-Apokalypse, uses
the RedHat Installer, by RedHat Software, Inc. and is based on
MkLinux pre-DR3, a version of Linux developed by Apple Computer, Inc.
and The Open Group and made freely-distributible. The CD which
pre-Apokalypse is shipped on also contains the source code to the
system, a complete X 11R6.3 implementation with several different
window managers, a complete suite of internet tools and servers
including the Apache web server, games, programming tools and 
languages such as egcs and PERL, and the tetex document formatting 
system.

Al Guerra Enterprises, Inc. is a software process consulting firm
based in Miami, FL and also provides technical support service plans
