“Magic Software Enterprises (Nasdaq: MGIC) unveiled the latest
version of its e-commerce server Friday, a product powered by the
Red Hat, Inc…distribution of the red-hot Linux operating system
(OS).”

“The Magic Enterprise Server v.8.3, which will ship in October,
features the ability for e-commerce developers working on other
platforms to port their existing business solutions to Linux. This
feature, according to Magic, could compel more e-commerce
professionals to deploy Linux-based solutions for their online
business operations…”

Because Linux is such a reliable Internet operating system,
we expect developers will take advantage of this offering to port
their e-commerce and other enterprise-level solutions to the
platform to enjoy all of the benefits of a scalable Web-enabled
environment
,” commented Magic CEO Jack Dunietz. He added that
the “Magic for Linux Enterprise Server v.8.3 is just the next step
in Magic’s continuing commitment to the Linux operating
system.”
