“Red Hat took a big step toward bolstering its e-commerce
strategy Tuesday, announcing the E-Commerce Server that is anchored
by its own 6.0 version of Linux and bundled with the Apache Web
server.”

“”We think this [Linux E-Commerce Server] can help level the
playing field with symmetrical multiprocessor support for up to
four processors along with security and good scalability,” said
Tim Buckley, Red Hat’s chief operating officer.”

“The new server product, which contains the RSA Data Security
128-bit encryption engine, also comes with a separate e-commerce
directory. In the directory are a number of finished and trial
versions of e-commerce software from several vendors, including
Hewlett-Packard and MiniVend.”
