“Attracting Linux converts in the corporate world is a
tricky business. While Linux die-hards want all the free software
and options they can get, corporate IT managers demand reliable
servers that require minimal effort to install and manage. IT
administrators want their Linux distributions to ask only those
questions it must ask during installation, and they don’t like
being forced to do a lot of manual configuration just to get on the
air after the installation.”
“In response, Caldera is aiming OpenLinux eServer 2.3 squarely
at the no-nonsense, corporate IT market, trying to win over the
e-business server market. OpenLinux eServer is tuned for thin,
high-performance operation and easy remote administration. The
graphical installer gathers the minimum necessary facts, sniffs out
your server hardware, and installs one of five predefined
configurations….”
“When defending OpenLinux eServer’s $199 price tag, Caldera
points primarily to three value-adding enhancements in the new
eServer edition: Linux tuned for optimal server performance,
Web-based administration, and IBM’s contributed commercial
software.”
