<snip>
To help spur the adoption of Linux on desktops, several 
companies and vendor-neutral open source concerns recently 
banded together to form the Desktop Linux Consortium, or DLC.

The Consortium will be incorporated as a nonprofit association 
with the goal of increasing awareness of Linux as a desktop 
operating system through tradeshows, conferences and industry 
events.

Vendors and organizations involved in the DLC include: ArkLinux, 
CodeWeavers, Debian.org, DesktopLinux.com, KDE, Linux 
Professional Institute (LPI), Lycoris, The Linux Terminal Server 
Project (LTSP), MandrakeSoft, NeTraverse, OpenOffice.org, 
Questnet (Support4Linux.com), Samba.org, theKompany, SuSE, 
TransGaming Technologies, TrustCommerce, Xandros, and Ximian.
