“Magic, a member of the Linux International board of
directors and a long-time supporter of the Linux community,
continues to work aggressively to provide community members the
tools necessary to bring enterprise-level business applications to
the operating system. Last year, it introduced its Magic
Enterprise Server V.8.3 for Linux, which enables existing Magic
applications developed on non-Linux platforms to be quickly and
seamlessly ported to the Linux operating system. In addition, the
Company ported Magic eMerchant(, its award-winning
business-to-business customizable e-commerce solution to Linux.
With this latest product, developers will be able to build
applications directly on the Linux platform. Conference attendees
are encouraged to visit the Magic Booth #373, attend a product demo
