Invitation to partipate in the Open Source NILO project

[Ken Yap]

NLnet is pleased to announce that the NILO (Network Interface
LOader) project has commenced in February 1999 with Rob Savoye, of
welcomehome.org, as the project contractor. The NILO project has the
goal of developing Open Source Software for network booting ROMs based
on Linux network adaptor drivers. The resulting ROMs will be able to boot
operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD and Windows. It will support the
Intel PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) specification. The project will
run until October 1999. For further details please visit the
NILO home page at http://www.nilo.org/

The NILO project invites the Open Source community to actively participate
in NILO development by joining the NILO developers mailing list and
providing feedback on the documents and software releases as they appear
on the web site. Details of how to subscribe are on the NILO web page.

The NLnet foundation, started in 1982, is the principal founder of global
area networking in Europe, in what is called today the Internet. NLnet
originates from initiatives taken from the Unix (tm) community and is
fully non-profit. Currently NLnet funds network technology projects to
stimulate electronic information exchange, mainly on the Internet. See
