TERRA SOFT SOLUTIONS LAUNCHES FIBER OPTIC CO-LOCATION SERVICES

Loveland, Colorado -- 28 October 2003 -- Terra Soft Solutions, Inc., the 
leading developer of integrated PowerPC Linux solutions, today launched 
co-location services built upon its high-speed fiber-optic backbone, VAR 
relationships, and systems integration expertise.

Terra Soft now offers server co-location and remote backup in its Colorado 
facility which houses a high-speed fiber optic backbone. Each customer is 
granted an isolated, dedicated port for a fast, secure, solid connection with 
nearly unlimited data throughput and complete control of the bandwidth 
parameters--from 1Mb to 1Gb.

"We have enjoyed the flexibility and incredible stability of our fiber-optic 
connection for nearly three years. While we have to date offered co-location 
services to local companies, YDL developers, and industry associates, we 
recognize a unique opportunity to offer server co-location and remote backup 
to individuals and companies independent of their proximity to our 
facilities. In addition, as a VAR for both Apple Computer and Total Impact we 
are in a unique position to acquire, configure, and launch Xserves, Xserve 
RAID boxes, and briQs without our customer having to touch the hardware," 
states Kai Staats, co-founder & CEO.

	Terra Soft offers:
	 - Custom built PowerPC-Yellow Dog Linux servers.
	 - An expertise in server design and setup.
	 - Server co-location or remote data storage and backup.
	 - Custom back-up scripts or BRU backup utility.
	 - Unlimited data throughput with flexible or fixed bandwidth ceilings.
	 - Dedicated (non-shared) ports; 100% saturation without disruption.
	 - 1Mb to 1Gb bandwidth.
	 - IP allocation upon proof of need.

Terra Soft offers two base packages: 'Co-Lo NET' with a customer established 
base and automatic scaling to a set ceiling; and 'Co-Lo Max' with a customer 
established datapipe for unlimited throughput and maximum saturation at a 
fixed monthly fee. Terra Soft will be pleased to host Linux, BSD, or UNIX 
servers of any architecture. For systems not purchased from Terra Soft, setup 
charges may apply. Administration is billed hourly.

Terra Soft is receiving orders for custom built servers now:
