Enlighten's System Management Software Receives Emperor Award from Linux Magazine

              First Monitoring and Management Product for Linux
                     and Linux, Unix, Windows Integration

    SAN MATEO, Calif., May 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Enlighten Software Solutions,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SFTW), a leading provider of integrated event monitoring and
systems management software for Linux, Unix, and Windows, announced today that
Linux Magazine has awarded Enlighten its Emperor Award for the EnlightenDSM
product.  This award recognizes EnlightenDSM for its broad platform support
and secure communication across networks as "a major find for any network
manager."
    "Having EnlightenDSM be recognized as 'invaluable' by Linux Magazine is
quite an honor," said Bill Bradley, President and CEO of Enlighten Software.
"As Linux Magazine found, the EnlightenDSM product provides real value for
system administrators in managing their IT infrastructures, no matter what
operating system is in place."
    Enlighten Software offers cross-platform proactive system management for
major distributions like Red Hat, TurboLinux, Mandrake-Linux, SuSE and
Caldera.  EnlightenDSM increases productivity by standardizing tedious
repetitive tasks across multiple operating environments as it increases
overall manageability by allowing administrators to group users into logical
pools and configure and manage them collectively."
    "EnlightenDSM is a major find for any network manager.  Its breadth and
cross-platform support are impressive, and its ability to operate securely
across the Internet can be invaluable.  No network manager should be without
EnlightenDSM," stated Bill Wong, in the "Web Exclusive" edition of Linux
Magazine ( http://www.linux-mag.com/online/pr_enlighten_01.html ).
    "Linux Magazine found the ease of use of EnlightenDSM invaluable,
especially with less experienced administrators.  EnlightenDSM is designed to
run out-of-the-box, giving IT departments a quicker ROI. Linux customers can
now automate their system management and focus on new business opportunities
associated with Linux deployment without having to worry about mundane
administration." Bradley added.
    With EnlightenDSM, users gain a scalable administrative solution for Linux
systems that also extends new benefits to their existing network of Unix and
Windows machines.  EnlightenDSM allows system administrators to move at
Internet speed when installing and implementing new hosts in a mixed,
cross-platform environment with technology that's been tested and bundled by
IBM, Intel and others.
    Enlighten also offers "free" cross-platform user-management software for
Linux, Unix and Windows at the Enlighten website ( http://www.EnlightenDSM.com ).
This free downloadable software will add sophisticated systems management
capability to Linux distributions by allowing administrators in a mixed
networked environment to simultaneously manage other systems on the network
from a single graphical console.  This Enlighten User Management Agent will
manage account creation, configuration, and password management of network
user accounts and group membership.  Additionally, customers can chose to
upgrade to the full EnlightenDSM product for comprehensive event monitoring
and administrative management of Linux, Unix, and Windows NT/98/95.
