1. NetMAX Personal Tutor Now Available!
********************************
NetMAX already makes setting up and administering your Linux server simple, but the powerful features of NetMAX may still require you to reference the user manual on occasion. Wouldn't it be even simpler if there was someone available to quickly SHOW you exactly what you need to know, whenever you need them, WITHOUT the expense of phone support calls?

Now there's someone who will: MAX, your NetMAX Personal Tutor!

NetMAX Personal Tutor is 80 total minutes of video tutorial, divided into specific topics, that will walk you through the ins and outs of the entire NetMAX interface and its many options. Learn how to do things with your NetMAX server that took your Linux guru friends years to learn, and be doing them in hours... or learn how to do just the specific task you need in minutes! NetMAX Personal Tutor is easy to follow, inexpensive, and available for immediate download in the NetMAX Store.

NetMAX Personal Tutor is available for $50 in the NetMAX Store:

2. New NetMAX Demo Options
************************

Product log-on demos for NetMAX software products have been available for years on the NetMAX.com website, and downloads of our previous versions are available for free download from our FTP site... but what if you want to try out all the features of the newest NetMAX products, on your own hardware?

Now, 30-day versions of NetMAX server software products are available for purchase in the NetMAX Store: $12 for thirty days of your chosen NetMAX product! Install it and decide if it's everything we say it is... buy the full version within the thirty days, and you won't even have to re-install, just plug in the new registration number and you're set. It's never been as convienent to try out NetMAX.

30-day versions of NetMAX are available for NetMAX Professional, NetMAX VPN Server Suite, and NetMAX Firewall. Please note that the 30-day licenses are for 30 days from the date of initial purchase, and that only a full version NetMAX license can be used to remove the time limit restrictions. These demo versions are only available via the NetMAX Store:

3. A NetMAX Workshop?
********************

Here at NetMAX, we're always thinking about ways to simplify Linux administration, because... well, that's what we do. This month we've launched our NetMAX Personal Tutor, and premiered our 30-day demo versions in the NetMAX Store -- you've already read about those, of course. But are we ready to stop there? No way!

So, we wondered, what if we held a NetMAX Workshop? Say, a day or two in Ann Arbor, Michigan (lovely place in the summer)... presentations on NetMAX by the folks who make it AND the folks who use it... basically a day to get together and swap information about the nitty gritty of NetMAX, and how it can be (and is) used. Would anyone come?

Well, would you?

We're always interested in your feedback, but in this case, it's especially important: if we held such a thing, would you want to be here? What would you be hoping to see when you got here? What would make it worth the trip?

If you are interested, or simply have suggestions, please contact us using the contact information noted below in article #4. Please note that we are only collecting information at this time -- we will announce details later if such a workshop is scheduled.

4. Let's Hear From You!
*******************

We would very much like to hear from you - especially about how you use NetMAX and Linux in your business, and how we can make NetMAX better suit your needs. You can contribute your input to the NetMAX Forum:

http://www.netmax.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi

or to our general NetMAX contact form:

http://www.netmax.com/partners/contacts.html

Let us know about your likes, dislikes, and general comments. We are especially interested in the type of additions to NetMAX Server you would like to see as we continue to develop the 4.x line.

Thank you!
