Pie Box Enterprise Linux 4 offers a robust and durable operating system ideal for individuals who require stability and longevity.
Pie Box Enterprise Linux 4 is a Linux distribution that caters to those in need of a stable OS with a lengthy lifespan, but without the high cost of bundled support contracts. Derived from open source software, only four packages have been modified in replacement of logos and trademarks. Key features include Linux 2.6 kernel, SELinux, GNOME 2.8, Samba 3.0, Logical Volume Manager 2, PCI Express support, and NFSv.4.
Developed by PixExcel, based in the UK, Pie Box Enterprise Linux 3 AS was released in 2004 to cater to the growing demand for high-quality Linux software without the attached cost of support contracts. The software has since been used by clients ranging from home enthusiasts to multi-million dollar corporations. The one thing these clients have in common is a need for a quality product that they are capable of operating on their own, without requiring support contracts.
Server features include PostgreSQL, MySQL, C, C++, Java, Fortran, Perl, Python, CVS, and Emacs development environments. Engineering analytic tools, such as blas, pvm, and lam, file servers including Samba, NFS, and FTP, an IMAP/POP mail server including Cyrus, and perhaps most importantly, a collection of trusted solutions that are SSL, IPSec, and MAC/DAC enabled for enhanced security.
On the client side, Pie Box Enterprise Linux AS provides OpenOffice.org office suite, Samba for Microsoft interoperability, APM/ACPI laptop power management, various multimedia applications, plug-and-play device support, RDP terminal services, remote desktop sharing/collaboration, and more.
New in this release are kernel features such as the ability to disable out of memory killer, driver updates, and the addition of several new drivers. The Samba has been upgraded from version 3.0.10 to 3.0.25, and there are updates to LVM2, NFS performance metrics, diskdump support, GDM, ALSA, WPA Supplicant driver, PAM module, microcode, automounter, and more. There are also technology previes, including Autofs5, Evolution 28, Frysk, GCC4, and Systemtap.
Overall, Pie Box Enterprise Linux AS is an excellent choice for those in search of a robust, high-quality Linux distribution without the associated high cost of support contracts.
