|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>This is the Linux Commercial HOWTO. It contains a listing of
|
|
commercial software which is available for Linux. The Linux Commercial HOWTO
|
|
doesn't contain any information on Linux distributions -- this is covered
|
|
by the Distribution HOWTO.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>If you contact any companies or purchase any products listed in this
|
|
document, please mention the Linux Commercial HOWTO.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>This document was originated by Harald Milz
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:Harald.Milz@Linux.org"><Harald.Milz@Linux.org></A>.
|
|
and then maintained by Mr. Poet
|
|
<P>It is now maintained by Mr. Poet AND LinuxPorts
|

|
|
<P>If you need to know more about the
|
|
<A HREF="http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/ldp.html">Linux Documentation Project</A> or about Linux HOWTO's, feel free to
|
|
contact the supervisor Tim Bynum
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:linux-howto@metalab.unc.edu"><linux-howto@metalab.unc.edu></A>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Tim Bynum will post the listing to several national and international
|
|
newsgroups on a monthly basis. In addition, the Linux Commercial HOWTO
|
|
can be found on the World Wide Web at
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxports.com/">http://commercial.cyrius.com</A>. New versions
|
|
of the Linux Commercial HOWTO are always placed at this site first, so
|
|
please be sure to check if the copy you are reading is still up to date!
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>The Linux Commercial HOWTO is not a forum for product announcements or
|
|
marketing hype; it is a service for potential customers and the whole
|
|
Linux community. Resellers will not be listed; the list is for companies
|
|
who produce their software themselves. Two main goals are being aimed at:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>It shall help companies who want to run Linux to find software
|
|
solutions and applications. The international distribution of this list
|
|
will enhance the contact opportunity.
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>It is meant to prove the commercial useability of Linux and thus to
|
|
encourage other vendors to port their software as well.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>Companies and developers who are offering their products for Linux and
|
|
interested in joining the Linux Commercial HOWTO are invited to fill out the
|
|
following form and contact me at
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:poet@linuxports.com">poet@linuxports.com</A>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>This HOWTO contains tabular entries for each product (example follows).
|
|
The entry format is similar to the Linux Software Map (LSM) entry
|
|
(field/stanza lengths are arbitrary). If you want me to add your entry
|
|
please <EM>keep short</EM>, otherwise I'll have to shorten your data.
|
|
Furthermore, please send me plain ASCII data; no HTML, and no PostScript.
