              IDG TO LAUNCH LINUXWORLD EVENT AND PUBLICATION
            TO SERVE CUSTOMERS IN RAPIDLY GROWING LINUX MARKET

      Launch of LinuxWorld Conference and Expo and LinuxWorld Online
          Addresses Fastest-Growing Operating System Environment

Boston, MA  -- International Data Group (IDG), the world's leading IT
media
and information company, today unveiled plans to launch a global product

line of events and publications to address the needs of the rapidly
growing
Linux market.  IDG World Expo, the world's leading producer of
IT-focused
conferences and expositions, will produce LinuxWorld Conference & Expo,
the
first international exposition addressing the business and technology
issues of the Linux operating environment.  IDG's Web Publishing unit,
one
of the first online-only IT publishers, will launch LinuxWorld, an
online-only magazine for the more than seven million technologists
requiring in-depth information on implementing Linux and related
technologies in diverse environments.

"With an annual growth rate exceeding 100 percent, the Linux market is
one
of the most noticed new technology areas today," said Kelly Conlin, IDG
president.  "By launching LinuxWorld Conference and Expo and LinuxWorld
Online, we are able to leverage IDG's industry-leading ability to
provide
customers with the most tailored and relevant IT
information for this distinct audience."

"I'm pleased to see IDG get so deeply involved in the Linux community
with
a new online magazine and global event.  The audience of Linux
professionals will be well served by these new information initiatives,"

aid Linus Torvalds, developer of Linux.

First International Exposition to Address Linux
Addressing the needs of both the Linux business and development
communities, LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, headed by Charles Greco,
President of IDG World Expo, features a high-level, technical conference

program led by industry luminaries offering advice and solutions on the
industry's fastest growing operating systems technology.  An exhibit
floor
highlighting leading service providers, solutions integrators, and
development organizations -- Pacific HiTech, Enchanced Software, Linux
Journal, Knock Software, and Oracle among others -- will also include
customized event areas such as Start-up City, Developer Central and
Developer Greenhouse, which will spotlight the latest developments and
emerging companies in the Linux arena.

The first LinuxWorld Conference and Expo will be held March 1-4, 1999 at

the San Jose Convention Center and is expected to attract more than
8,000
key influencers and adopters of Linux technologies.  The target audience

includes Linux developers, Fortune 1000 business leaders, enterprise
managers, CIOs, service providers, system administrators, software
solution
providers, computer consultants, and solutions
integrators.

"We are eager to participate in this international event dedicated to
raising the level of dialogue in the Linux arena," said Bob Young,
president of Red Hat Software.  "With over seven million users today and

growing, there is certainly an increasing demand for Linux-based
products
and services, but also for knowledge, information and resources.  IDG's
LinuxWorld is poised to provide a strong foundation for knowledge
exchange
and information sharing."

First Online Publication for the Linux Community
LinuxWorld (www.linuxworld.com) is the first online publication
dedicated
to providing an open discussion forum where members of the Linux
community
can further their understanding of the technical and business issues.
Led
by Michael McCarthy, President of Web Publishing Inc., LinuxWorld fills
the
technical and strategic needs of this rapidly growing market with a mix
of
in-depth technical information, real-world scenarios of Linux in the
enterprise, features, reader forums, product reviews, reader-submitted
links, and guidance for making purchasing decisions. LinuxWorld will go
"live" in mid-October, but a portion of the site is currently available
for
reviewing ad rates, requesting subscriptions to email alerts, and
finding
editorial contact information.

"The expansion of our global product line with the new LinuxWorld
initiatives today in the US, and, later, in other countries is further
testament to our ability and commitment to reach customers around the
world
with powerful information resources in every prominent IT segment," said

Kelly Conlin.
