	New Release of Trans-Ameritech Linux Plus CD-ROM! 

Trans-Ameritech is emerging as new leader in Linux and BSD distribution. 
Our product (Linux Plus CD-ROM) is well designed and considered to be 
superior by majority of the Internet community. We would like to offer
you NEW release (Release 3).

We include both Slackware and NetBSD distribution to target TWO major 
UNIX markets.

Here is the brief information about our product:

 "The best Linux Plus CD-ROM ever" just got better with Linux 1.0!

Now based on the Slackware 1.2 and with the Linux kernel 1.0. XFree86 2.1
This release combines the best features of all existing CD-ROM releases 
of the Linux operating system:

* The installation is highly automated by the Slackware scripts fine tuned
to this CD-ROM but leaves a lot of room for customization. The great 
advantage of Slackware is the ease of installing/deleting individual 
packages and sets. Install only what you really need!
The menu-based installation procedure on the "color" root disks lets even
first time Linux users install the system in no time.

* In addition to standard device drivers in Linux kernel, BIOS-less aha1522
SCSI is supported (it covers Sound Blaster 16 SCSI too).

* To minimize the possibility of hardware conflicts many extra kernels are 
provided for different configurations. They are usable for installation and
normal use.

* For the FIRST time it is possible to try Linux without repartitioning 
your hard drive - just use at least 12 Meg on your DOS partition for Linux.
The "live" CD-ROM filesystem helps you run almost any software in this mode.

* Many on-line documents are provided for quick reference, including the
Linux Documentation Project files in source, dvi and ps formats.

* A lot of applications are included:
  -	The C/C++ compiler GNU GCC 2.5.8,

* To help the first time Linux users many documentation files are provided 
that are readable from DOS even before installing Linux.

* All the sources are available on the CD-ROM. The most often needed 
sources  are uncompressed and can be used directly from CD-ROM.

* An uncompressed Linux filesystem is available for reference and disk space
conservation. You can run programs directly from CD-ROM! There is a large
"info" directory for on-line reference and many manpages.
