Philadelphia, PA — 11 February 2003 —  LinuxForce Inc., the greater Philadelphia region's leading provider of outsourced systems administration services for Debian-based systems, named CJ Fearnley its second President and CEO.

"I've learned a great deal from him, and I look forward to building upon the tradition of excellence that he established."

LinuxForce's outgoing president and CEO, Buck Fleming said "With my expanded responsibilities and challenges at AdminForce LLC, it was clear that I needed to transfer my day to day responsibilities at LinuxForce," I am confident that I leave LinuxForce's operations in great hands with this reorganization.
