Re: Your Linux post today, I came across this on slashnet:
SAN FRANCISCO — Feb. 04, 1999 — With Windows 2000 now beyond beta 2, one of its most useful features appears to come from an inexpensive software addition that's available for a single desktop, or across an entire Windows 2000 network.
Softway Systems' INTERIX, when added to Windows 2000 or Windows NT,
allows users to run UNIX systems, open systems and Linux applications.
In October, Softway announced that INTERIX will be the first Windows product to earn the UNIX brand. Applications run on INTERIX will run like UNIX system applications, not emulated Windows apps. For anyone with UNIX skills, setting up INTERIX on Windows NT is quick. For example, the Apache server was converted to INTERIX in less than a day. This web site is running on INTERIX with Windows NT 4.0, Apache and sendmail. INTERIX works across an entire network, or on a single workstation. |
