For the Press

Linux is an Open Source, Unix-like operating system. It is a very effective operating system for both servers and desktops. Most Linux distributions are free, or are sold for a price that covers the cost of distribution and sometimes support.

As LinuxChix is a virtual organisation, there is no physical-world address. As it is run by volunteers, and I don't own a fax machine, there is no fax number.

LinuxChix was founded by Deb Richardson, in 1999. In August 2001, coordination and hosting were transferred to Jenn and Dancer Vesperman.

LinuxChix is a place for women who use Linux and other Open Source operating systems and programs to get together. Men are also welcome - the only real rule is that the participants must be polite and helpful.

We use a set of mailing lists for the main discussion groups, and regional chapters to allow face-to-face, real world meetings of the Chix.
