Highest award won to date by Linux!
WGS Linux Pro 3.0 was selected as a finalist in the "Best of Comdex Fall/95"
- - by BYTE Magazine, and Softbank (the company that owns the Comdex Shows)
Only 30 products received this distinction, out of over 2200 exhibitors
displaying tens-of-thousands of products. COMDEX had well in excess of
200,000 attendees, this year, including most of the world's media. All
were exposed to Linux as a result of this award.
WGS Linux Pro 3.0 is a stability tested version of the "best of Linux"
available, taken from the Internet. WGS Linux Pro 3.0 placed 2nd in the
"Operating Systems" category. WorkGroup Solutions' customer support was
cited as a major reason for the award.
President of WorkGroup Solutions, Mark Bolzern says, "In our minds, this is a
win for the entire Linux community, not just WGS. We want to thank everyone
involved with Linux for a great product, both developers and users. Without
a great and well tested product, support policies would mean nothing."

In keeping with the above, and the fact that Linux is still largely an
underground revolution from the point of view of the greater computer
industry...... the following joke conceived at COMDEX by Bjoern Roth
& Mark Bolzern
Q. Why do Linux users get up in the morning?
A. Because they see the light!
