“New Software Publisher to Expand Linux Applications
Market.”

“Zenguin, Inc., a new Linux software publisher based in Oakland,
California, announced today that it has launched development of a
user-friendly application installer for Linux.

“The Zenguin Installer for Applications will solve a key problem
faced by Linux application developers today: how to accommodate
significant differences among various versions of the Linux
operating system, such as those developed by Caldera, Red Hat,
SuSE, Debian, Slackware, and Pacific HiTech. Currently, there are
more than 12 distributions of the Linux OS in widespread use
today.

“The Zenguin Installer will make it easy to install applications
on any major version of the Linux operating system,” said Scott
McNeil, President and CEO of Zenguin, Inc.”
