As president and CEO, Hill will direct overall company strategy and continue to position Linux NetworX as the leading Linux clustering company. Hill formerly served as Linux NetworX Vice President, helping the company gain capital funding and form technology relationships. He is best-known for his work as one of the lead counsels for Caldera Inc. in its historic antitrust lawsuit settlement over Microsoft Corp.
Since designing and delivering the world's first commercial Linux cluster supercomputer in 1997, Linux NetworX has delivered industry-leading cluster systems and management tools to some of the largest organisations worldwide. The company's award-winning products help organisations achieve supercomputing power for a lower cost-of-ownership.
Former Linux NetworX President and CEO Glen Lowry opted to leave the company in October 2001. Hill has acted as the company's president and CEO since that time, and officially accepted the position in February 2002.
