Tripwire Open Source, Linux Edition, Now Available; Honoring Commitment to
the Linux Community

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2000--Tripwire, Inc., the
leading provider of data and network integrity solutions, today
announced the availability of its Open Source product for the Linux(R)
operating system.  Delivering on the commitment made earlier this
year, Tripwire(R) Open Source, Linux Edition is hosted on VA Linux
Systems' (Nasdaq:LNUX) SourceForge(TM), the world's largest Open
Source development center. The software is also included on the
recently announced Red Hat Linux 7 Open Source Operating System.
Tripwire Open Source, Linux Edition will continue to be integrated
into other Linux solutions.

"Tripwire Open Source, Linux Edition is a significant contribution of
commercial-quality data and network integrity software to the Linux
community.  As Linux continues its incredible momentum, there is a
real need for security applications that allow the customer to create
with a foundation of integrity," said W. Wyatt Starnes, president and
CEO of Tripwire, Inc. "Our inclusion on SourceForge and the Red Hat
Linux core operating system CD reinforces our commitment to and
acceptance by the Linux community."

"The release of Tripwire Open Source, Linux Edition, is nothing short
of outstanding," said Scott Mann, author of Linux System Security: The
Administrator's Guide to Open Source Security Tools. "This software
represents a critical component to security in all Linux computing
environments. With this GPL version, the improved Tripwire software is
now available to the entire Linux community."

Tripwire Open Source, Linux Edition is functionally equivalent to
Tripwire 2.2.1 for the Linux platform. The software is issued under
the General Public License, the most widely used and accepted license
for Open Source code in the Linux and Open Source community. Tripwire
is the principal provider of resources to actively manage the project,
and has appointed a gatekeeper to work with the Open Source user and
developer communities to continually enhance the software.
