Pie Box Enterprise Linux 4 is aimed at people who need a stable OS
with a long lifespan but don’t want an expensive bundled support
contract. It is derived from open source software with only four
packages modified in order to replace trademarks and logos with our
own. Features of Pie Box Enterprise Linux 4 include the
Linux 2.6 kernel, SELinux, GNOME 2.8, Samba 3.0, Logical Volume Manager
2, PCI Express support and NFSv.4.
Further information regarding Pie Box Enterprise Linux 4 and
subscriptions to the Updates service may be found at www.piebox.com.
PixExcel, based in the United Kingdom, recognised the demand for
enterprise quality Linux software that does not come bundled with an
expensive support contract. This led to the release of Pie Box
Enterprise Linux 3 AS back in April 2004. Since then PixExcel has been
supplying a growing client base ranging from the home enthusiast to
multi-million pound corporations. These clients share one thing in
common – they demand a quality product but are sufficiently skilled to
operate it without the expense of a support contract.
