“Manchester Equipment…the network integrator and corporate
reseller entered its 28th year in business by announcing support
for the increasingly popular Linux operating system.”
“A year ago, Linux was still too fragmented and immature, too
short of standardization for wide acceptance by our customers,”
stated Laura Fontana, Director of Technical Services. “However,
companies such as Caldera Systems, Red Hat, and Corel have
standardized their Linux offerings so that we are beginning to see
customers adopting this low-cost, reliable and compatible solution.
These companies have not only taken a standards-based approach,
they also offer the quality training that enables us to provide
first class support for our customers.”
“With the increase in acceptance and usage of Linux,
Manchester will be concentrating its efforts in Linux deployment
for file, print, and Web servers, as well as other back-end
solutions. Manchester has been a network integrator since
1984, and these new Linux support programs compliment the company’s
strategic local and wide-area networking expertise.”
