Press Release Body = 2X TerminalServer for Linux provides companies and users with a
secure, personal Linux desktop, accessible from anywhere in the world.

Frankfurt, Germany, 30 August 2006 - 2X today announced the release of 2X
TerminalServer for Linux, an open source terminal server for Linux, which enables
users to run a Linux desktop and Linux / Windows applications over any type of
connection.

\"If Linux is going to happen on the desktop, it will require a terminal server
approach such as that of 2X Terminal Server for Linux. Only with the more advanced
thin client approach, will Linux be able to outdo Windows fat clients in a company's
network. 2X is proud to contribute to this by opening the source code of its
terminal server software for Linux," said Nikolaos Makris, CEO 2X.

Leverages the lightning fast NX protocol: A compressed version of X

The 2X TerminalServer is based on the open source NX X-Windows compression protocol.
X-Windows is highly bandwidth-intensive and therefore does not scale well or run
over low bandwidth connections. The NX protocol on the other hand, compresses the
X-Window protocol and enables users to run a complete Linux desktop and Linux /
Windows applications over slow dial-up links. On LANs, it means a much higher number
of clients can be supported without affecting network speed.

Linux: The perfect multi-user OS

Linux is ideally suited for thin client/server-based computing, because it was
designed from the ground up to be multi-user. Application conflicts are therefore
less likely and management is made easier.
