<P> Las Vegas, NV May 9, 2000 Today at Networld+Interop (N+I), Axis
|
|
Communications is demonstrating a new wireless solution that provides
|
|
broadband access to the Internet and LANs for a wide range of emerging
|
|
wireless devices. General availability is
|
|
expected in the fourth quarter.
|
|
The Bluetooth Access Point will be used to create local "hot spots," areas
|
|
where instant wireless broadband access to the Internet or a network is
|
|
available to Bluetooth enabled devices, such as cell phones, PDAs, laptops
|
|
and emerging Webpads. These hot spots will enable new and innovative
|
|
services for a variety of user environments, in the office, home, hotels,
|
|
retail establishments and other public places such as the airport.
|
|
|
|
<P> In the hotel of the future, while you check into your room, your laptop
|
|
checks into the office - retrieves e-mail, voicemail and accesses corporate
|
|
Intranet services - all with broadband speed. Phone calls will be routed
|
|
automatically via telephony services to your personal mobile phone,
|
|
providing one number simplicity and lower-cost phone bills. The hotel will
|
|
offer new conveniences: such as easy wireless faxing and printing from
|
|
anywhere in the hotel to the business center, poolside food service
|
|
ordering and streamlined checkout payment all from your PDA.
|
|
|
|
<P> The Bluetooth Access Point from Axis is the first to support both data and
|
|
voice services. The product platform is based on Axis' integrated
|
|
system-on-a-chip technology and embedded Linux, which includes a Bluetooth
|
|
stack for Linux developed by Axis and recently released under GNU General
|
|
Public License (GPL) to the open source community.

|

Official press release from Red Hat</A>)
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P> RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--April 25, 2000--Red Hat, Inc.,
|
|
announced today that it is now taking orders for
|
|
developer tools and services for the embedded Linux market.
|
|
The Red Hat Embedded DevKit (EDK) begins shipping immediately and answers
|
|
the demand for open source software and tools in the growing
|
|
embedded space, which includes Internet appliances and handhelds.
|
|
|
|
<P> The Red Hat EDK provides an integrated development environment (IDE) to
|
|
deliver software developers everything needed to quickly and easily create
|
|
embedded Linux applications on a wide spectrum of pervasive computing
|
|
platforms. The targeted markets include manufacturers who are building
|
|
Internet infrastructure appliances and consumer Internet appliances,
|
|
as well as the traditional telecom, datacom, industrial and embedded
|
|
enterprise markets.
|
|
|
|
<P> The Red Hat Embedded DevKit is a completely open source software package
|
|
and is sold via redhat.com with varying levels of services starting
|
|
at $199.95.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P> A key advantage to the Red Hat Embedded DevKit is access to the premium
|
|
support services that Red Hat has pioneered in the open source space. Red Hat
|
|
Support customers receive assistance on the usage of the Embedded DevKit and
|
|
response to questions about embedded Linux. In addition, customers are entitled
|
|
to priority response on corrections to any EDK or kernel problems they submit.
|
|
This ensures that customer projects stay on schedule.
|
|
|
|
<P> For EDK, Red Hat offers two types of premium support:
|
|
|
|
<P> Incident support for small workgroups, and Platinum Support for larger
|
|
development teams. Incident packages provide the customer with priority
|
|
response on a fixed number of requests. Platinum packages provide priority
|
|
response on an unlimited number of requests, but are based on the number
|
|
of software developers using the EDK.

|
|
|
|
|
|
<P> FHS 2.1 is done!
|
|
|
|
<P> I'm pleased to announce the release of FHS 2.1, a updated version of the
|
|
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for Linux and other Unix-like operating
|
|
systems. FHS is part of the draft Linux Standard Base specification,
|
|
which will soon be updated to reflect FHS 2.1.
|
|
|
|
<P> FHS 2.1 supersedes both FSSTND 1.2 and FHS 2.0. There have been some
|
|
significant improvements and bug fixes since FHS 2.0. Please see the
|
|
FHS web site for details. (It has been a few years since the last
|
|
official release, so check it out if you're using a previous version
|
|
of FHS or FSSTND.)
|
|
|
|
<P> What is FHS?
|
|
|
|
<P> FHS defines a common arrangement of the many files and directories in
|
|
Unix-like systems (the filesystem hierarchy) that many different
|
|
developers and groups have agreed to use. See below for details on
|
|
retrieving the standard.
|
|
|
|
<P> The FHS specification is used by the implementors of Linux distributions
|
|
and other Unix-like operating systems, application developers, and
|
|
open-source writers. In addition, many system administrators and users
|
|
have found it to be a useful resource.
|
|
|
|
<P> FHS or its predecessor, FSSTND, is currently implemented by most
|
|
major Linux distributions, including Debian, Red Hat, Caldera, SuSE,
|
|
and more.
|
|
|
|
<P> FHS 2.1 and other FHS-related information is available at
|
|

<P> From the Big Iron down to a Pocket Server.
|
|
Stalker Announces a Linux StrongARM version of the CommuniGate Pro Mail Server
|
|
|
|
<P> MILL VALLEY, CA - May 15, 2000 - Just two weeks after the successful release
|
|
of the AS/400 version of CommuniGate Pro, Stalker Software, Inc. today
|
|
announced the Linux StrongARM version of their highly scalable, carrier-grade
|
|
messaging server.
|
|
|
|
<P> CommuniGate Pro was initially designed to be a highly portable messaging
|
|
system that can effectively use the resources of any operating system on any
|
|
hardware platform. Current installations include small to mid-size ISPs on up
|
|
to the extra large ISPs and Fortune 500 companies.
|
|
|
|
<P> With this release, Stalker expands the number of supported Linux
|
|
architectures: besides the "regular" Intel-based systems, CommuniGate Pro can
|
|
be deployed on PowerPC, MIPS, Alpha, Sparc, and now StrongARM processors
|
|
running the Linux(r) operating system.
|
|
|
|
<P> The highly scalable messaging platform can support 100,000 accounts with an
|
|
average ISP-type load on a single server, and the CommuniGate Pro unique
|
|
clustering mechanisms allow it to support a virtually unlimited number of
|
|
accounts.
|
|
|
|
<P> For office environments and smaller ISPs, CommuniGate Pro makes an ideal
|
|
Internet appliance when installed on MIPS-based Cobalt Cubes(r) and, now,
|
|
Rebel.com's NetWinder(r) mini-servers.
|
|

Centers Ltd. (Sintec), a Magic Solutions Partner that is the developer of the
|
|
leading call center management software in Israel. Magic plans to market and

business solutions, announced today that it has signed a deal with Compass
|
|
Group PLC, a major worldwide foodservice organization, to deliver an

e-procurement solution. The e-procurement solution, which is being developed
|
|
and implemented by Magic's French subsidiary at Compass Group France, will be
|
|
built using Magic's award-winning business-to-business e-commerce solution,
|
|
Magic eMerchant. The new application is expected to become operational in

June 2000.

<P> "We chose Magic over Oracle and IBM because they were able to provide us a

competitive, fixed-price solution that could be implemented much more quickly

data model," said Ludovic Penin, Compass Group's IS director in France.

|
|
|
|
<P> SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - May 22, 2000 - Lutris Technologies, Inc., an Open
|
|
Source enterprise software and services company, today announced that its
|
|
Professional Services group was chosen to deliver the interactive customatix
|
|
(<A HREF="http://www.customatix.com">www.customatix.com</A>) Web site for
|
|
Solemates. Customatix.com is an interactive E-commerce site that enables
|
|
customers to design and build their own shoes click-by-click from the sole up.
|
|
|
|
<P> Solemates, the company behind customatix.com, relied on Lutris Technologies'
|
|
Professional Services group to develop a site capable of delivering the
|
|
three billion trillion combinations of custom shoe designs that only a
|
|
Web-based business could offer customers. Visitors to customatix.com can
|
|
select from a vast assortment of shoe design elements, including sole
|
|
heights, materials, colors, laces, and other options to build a uniquely
|
|
individual pair of shoes.
|
|
|
|
<P> Lutris made customatix.com come to life quickly. Using Enhydra
|
|
(<A HREF="http://www.enhydra.org">www.enhydra.org</A>), a leading
|
|
Open Source Java(tm)/XML application server, the Professional Services group
|
|
built a complex, multi-faceted application, architecting a solution that
|
|
integrates seamlessly with Solemates' partners, including UPS, Cybersource,
|
|
and FaceTime. The Enhydra Open Source application server decreased
|
|
Solemates' time-to-market to a fraction of what it could have been using
|
|
closed source, proprietary software.
|
|
|
|
<P> Using Enhydra XMLC, Lutris was able to deploy Solemates' business in five
|
|
months-roughly half the time it would have taken without this innovation,
|
|
and at a cost of approximately one-third of what a pioneering site typically
|
|
costs, according to recent GartnerGroup survey data. Enhydra XMLC separates
|
|
HTML design and coding from business logic, allowing interface designers and
|
|
Java programmers to work simultaneously yet independently. Since a core
|
|
benefit of customatix.com's vision lay in allowing customers to view their
|
|
creations in real-time, Enhydra XMLC provided the precise technology to
|
|
support such an inventive business strategy.

|
|
|
|
<P> With "Heavy Gear II" Loki Entertainment Software is
|
|
opening the door to new dimensions in the Linux world: with 3D audio effects
|
|
and joystick support, a further step has been taken towards the acceptance of
|
|
Linux by the home user.
|
|
|
|
<P> With the release of the first "big" Linux game, "Civilization: Call To
|
|
Power" (awarded the "Best End User Product of 1999" by Linux Journal),
|
|
Loki Entertainment has already made a name for itself. Just like its
|
|
successors, "Heavy Gear II" makes optimal use of the qualities of Linux
|
|
in the network, whereby multi-player games based on rounds, or real-time,
|
|
are possible. Due to its success, it is no surprise that around a dozen
|
|
more titles are planned on being ported to Linux for the year 2000.
|
|
|
|
<P> Loki is currently placing its main emphasis on 3D sound support by means
|
|
of OpenAL. "OpenAL represents a milestone for Linux," realizes Scott
|
|
Draeker, president of Loki Entertainment Software. "Until now, 3D audio
|
|
features in games were reserved for users of other platforms. This has
|
|
all changed now."
|
|
|
|
<P> OpenAL, entirely in the tradition of the Open Source community, is issued
|
|
under the LPGL license (GNU Library Public License).
|
|
|
|
<P> Loki released 7 front-line Linux game titles in 1999, and
|
|
plans 16 titles for 2000. For more information, visit

|
|
<P> We proudly announce the beta release of Linux SDK for use with Quake III
|

Arena.
|
|
|
|
<P> The full version of Linux SDK will benefit Linux enthusiasts and aspiring
|
|
game developers alike by allowing them to create maps and game code
|
|
modifications under Linux. Windows users have had this capability since
|
|
the release of the original Quake game.
|
|
|
|
<P> Linux SDK offers Linux users a toolchain for content creation. It
|
|
combines software for image processing, conversion and editing with a
|
|
fully-featured map editor compatible with the Quake III engine. The
|
|
features include custom texturing, lighting, patches, shaders, entities
|
|
and more. It is based in part on the QERadiant code from id Software, Inc.
