“Magstar Inc. announced that it has ported its fully integrated
Retail Enterprise System to Red Hat Software, Inc.’s red hat®
Linux 6.0. The increasingly popular open source system is a 32-bit
multi-user, multi-tasking server operating system that many see as
a viable choice for people who normally look at commercial UNIX
systems and Microsoft NT….”
“Ron Ross, founding partner and President of Magstar, noted that
“red hat® Linux 6.0 offers users a state of the art, UNIX-like,
stable operating platform at considerably reduced cost. We see
Linux as a good fit in multiple location retail operations. Whether
you have 20 or 200 store locations, in-store processor operating
license fees add up quickly. Factor in the reliability and
stability and Linux becomes a very attractive
alternative.“

“Further to our red hat Linux 6.0 port submission, our
underlying technology, i.e. relational database and integrated 4GL
development environment is from Appgen Business Software.
Appgen won the recent Linux Business Expo Penguin Playoffs for
Best Office Solution.
Magstar has been an Appgen VAR since the mid 80s and won the
Appgen VAR of the Year award for the last few years.”
