PowerWindows is an integrated suite of small-to-medium-sized
business applications. According to this review, there are some
installation problems, but the overall package is “a solid offering
and a welcome addition” to Linux.

“…As mentioned, I had a little trouble with the demo
install on my older Mandrake distribution. It would have been nice
if AppGen had included instructions or had enhanced the autoag
script to fall back to text-based operation if the Java runtime
failed. In addition, I’d like to see the documentation focus a
little more on the Linux/UNIX side of things, or give equal
coverage, at least. Those complaints aside, AppGen PowerWindows
looks to be a solid offering and a welcome addition to the Linux
application base. If you’re looking for a Linux-based business
solution or are interested in exploring opportunities in the VAR
channel, it may pay to give PowerWindows a look. “
