All-in-One Package of Software and
Diagnostic Tools Helps Enterprises Evaluate and Implement Migration
Strategy
SAN DIEGO — March 24, 2004 —
Lindows Inc. today unveiled the Desktop Linux Enterprise Assessment
Kit, available now for $149 at www.lindows.com/enterprise.
An all-in-one tool designed to make evaluating an enterprise migration
strategy easier than ever, the assessment kit offers enterprises an
easy way to determine the right fit for desktop Linux within their
organization. Anyone looking to learn more about how desktop Linux
would be of benefit can now explore the interface of multiple versions
of LindowsOS, watch multimedia tutorials, experiment with software
applications, and test filetype and hardware compatibility, all from
one DVD disc.
The IT professionals of organizations interested in desktop Linux will
find the Desktop Linux Enterprise Assessment Kit provides a valuable
tool for investigating how the software can benefit their organization.
Multiple versions of the operating system have been placed onto a
single DVD to save these evaluators time and cost in determining which
version best fits their needs. A built-in diagnostic tool determines
Linux hardware compatibility, while the assessment kit also enables the
user to assess filetype compatibility with Microsoft Office file
formats, learn about the benefits of digital software delivery and
remote software updates, and become familiar with the LindowsOS
interface.
“We’ve worked with hardware manufacturers and other companies to put
together a tool that will help organizations do a thorough assessment
of where Linux is suitable for their computing needs,” said Michael
Robertson, chief executive officer of Lindows, Inc. “This all-in-one
package has all the popular tools to familiarize themselves with state
of the art desktop Linux, Microsoft file compatibility as well as
hardware compatibility for their organization.”
As part of using the Desktop Linux Enterprise Assessment Kit to
evaluate a possible migration strategy, users can also create
installation CDs of any of the software. The DVD includes more than 4
gigabytes of software, including four versions of LindowsOS for
evaluation purposes, as well as full-featured diagnostic tools and CNR
Express to experience one click digital software distribution and
updates.
