“Kevin Lindsay is the head developer of Stormix Technologies,
creator of the Debian-based Storm Linux distribution.”
“Linux.com: How does Stormix compete with other
distribution providers in the Linux market?
Kevin Lindsay: Right now our focus is both the
desktop and the server market. We feel that Linux is becoming very
popular on the desktop, and we expect that people will be switching
to Linux quite a bit for the next few years. It’s already gained
quite a bit of market share, comparable to the MacOS; and with a
split of Microsoft pending, more people will be interested in
alternatives.”
“We focus on the integration of Linux into the business
world, with more of an emphasis on the server side. There are a lot
of NT networks out there which could be replaced with Linux
networks. To do that, we have to provide an easier way for
people to convert; with the Storm Administration Systems and its
remote access capabilities, you can administer servers from a local
box, and we’ll eventually have a Windows client port. This way, NT
administrators can easily convert their servers over to Linux.”
