Summary of Products and Services:

SuSE’s Linux
expertise has led its flagship product, the SuSE Linux
distribution, into becoming one of the most popular Linux distributions
worldwide. Now an international company, carefully localized versions of
SuSE Linux are available in many languages. SUSE Linux is available for
the Intel, Alpha, and Power PC* platforms. SuSE was founded in 1992, making it one of the earliest commercial Linux companies.
*Spring 2000.

In addition to its Linux distribution, SuSE provides professional services
to both enterprises and end users, offering technical support, consulting,
Partner Programs, and sales support to customers, resellers, and
distributors around the world. Because IT professionals respect the
reliability, comprehensive range of support, and level of technical
consulting SuSE offers them, SuSE is the platform of choice for server
systems at many companies.

SuSE is a technology leader in Linux. Through its SuSE Linux Labs division, SuSE contributes significantly
to Linux research and development with projects like XFree86, ALSA,
KDE, glibc, and kernel development, as well as with ports to other
platforms such as Sparc, Alpha and PPC, always releasing its contributions to the
Open Source community.

Staff:

SuSE has a solid engineering team: With over 250 employees worldwide,
two-thirds are employed in development, support, and information technology
service.

Because SuSE Labs is leading several important Linux development projects, more than 50 key developers from the Linux Community work
for SuSE. This level of Linux expertise enables SuSE to provide global
support for “mission-critical applications.”

Software Products: SuSE Linux Distribution

SuSE Linux comes with installation and administration tools, a
carefully maintained set of over 1500 applications, an extensive
manual, and 60 days of installation support. SuSE’s Linux distribution
adheres to international standards.

The current version, 6.3, premiered in early
December 1999 in both CDROM and DVD formats. Check http://www.suse.de/en
for upcoming information about new versions.

Non-Linux users sometimes wonder why SuSE releases an updated distribution every
4 months if Linux is so stable and reliable. The
quarterly releases allow the SuSE Development Team to bring the latest
Linux software and technical innovations to the market. However, while
Linux itself is continuously updated, SuSE controls its own releases.
SuSE only incorporates updates to the heart of the Linux operating system,
the kernel, when stable and when they provide performance improvements.
Experimental software outside the kernel is always labeled as such and
comes with documentation. SuSE ensures both innovation
and stability with every release.

In other services to its users, the majority of the new packages
are also available from our ftp server: ftp://ftp.suse.com. Technical information is always available online
through the support database.

Software Awards and Reviews:

The SuSE Linux distribution has won many different industry and user
awards, including:

• Favorite Linux Distribution: Linux World, Conference and Expo, February 2000 and March 1999
• Favorite Linux Distribution, Reader’s Choice Awards: Linux Journal, 1/99; PC
  Professional 4/99; Computer Bild 6/99; PC Intern 4/99; PC Magazin 4/99, PC Answers 8/99

The SuSE Linux distribution is also frequently praised for having
excellent documentation, comprehensive hardware support, and an encyclopedic
set of Linux tools. The technical editor of Linux Journal Magazine,
a major US Linux publication, summarized many SuSE Linux benefits
when he stated in a recent review (10/99):

“SuSE is a serious, high-performance distribution which is more
complete than practically any single distribution, and at the same
time is clean and fast due to effective configuration and
intelligent design.”

— Jason Kroll, Technical Editor, Linux Journal Magazine

Storm Linux is a Debian GNU/Linux based distribution designed for
the desktop and network markets. Enhancements include the Storm installer, the Storm Package
Manager and the Storm Administration System.Storm Linux 2000

Storm Linux 2000 has been greatly improved as of August 2000,
and is now based on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 “potato” release.
There are three editions of Storm Linux 2000 available:

• Starter Edition
  Boxed set. $19.95. Includes 1 CD, Installation Guide, PowerQuest Linux Prep Tool and Star Office 5.2
• Deluxe Edition
  Boxed set. $69.95. Includes 5 CDs, Installation Guide, User Guide,
  PowerQuest Linux Prep Tool, Star Office 5.2, Heroes of Might and Magic III (network play disabled), Macromedia Flash, Acrobat Reader.
• Open Edition
  Freely redistributable, this edition is available for free download from the
  Stormix servers and mirrors.

Storm Linux 2000 currently includes:

• Linux kernel 2.2.16
• KDE 1.1.2
• Helix GNOME 1.2
• glibc 2.1.3

Debian GNU/Linux
The Debian GNU/Linux
project was begun in August 1993, with funding
from the Free Software Foundation as part of their
GNU Project.
Debian’s goal is the creation of a complete operating system that
uses only Free Software. There are now over 500 Debian developers worldwide who are actively working on Debian GNU/Linux.

Storm Package Manager
Storm Package Manager is the graphical front-end to Debian’s advanced package management system. It enables you to install, update and remove software
and packages effortlessly. Simply choose the package that you want to download, and let Storm Package Manager do the rest. By automatically accessing
the Debian archive over the internet, Storm Package Manager enables you to easily download the most recent versions of all your favourite
Linux-compatible software packages. Upgrades are just as easy, and your system will stay clean, without you having to remove old, unused programs.

Storm Administration System (SAS)
The Storm Administration System is the network administration tool developed by Stormix. An integral part of Storm Linux 2000, it enables users to
maintain and configure systems remotely.

SAS is module-based, allowing the interface client to run separately from its core applications. This allows remote connectivity, giving the user
the ability to execute applications on a specific Linux box from other systems. Its 3 main components are:

SAT – Storm Administration Tool – a generic interface for the selection, loading, and display of various system modules.
Modules – software designed for a specific configuration task under Linux. There are currently 3 modules implemented: network, users, and dial-up.

MID – Module Interface Daemon – the software that facilitates communication between the system modules and SAT. Additionally, MID was
designed as a network aware daemon which allows SAS to be used over either LANs or WANs (internet). In technical terms, MID is referred to as a relay
agent.

SAS offers benefits to both users and developers.

Users benefit from:

• Remote administration from anywhere in the world
• Advanced user interface in both text and graphics

Developers benefit from:

• Creating graphical applications easily with SAS and SIL (Simple Interface Language)
• Modularity of SAS, which means that code doesn’t have to be re-written.
• Graphic and text interfaces accessed from same code-base.

User friendly and fast (Pentium optimizations),
Mandrake features many graphical interfaces (KDE, GNOME, WindowMaker, AfterStep, IceWM…) and is also compatible with applications packaged for
RedHat Linux. Mandrake won two awards: “Best Product of the Year” and “Best Linux Distribution/Server”, and was a finalist for “Linux
Distribution/Client”. Easy, for everybody!

Yellow Dog Linux takes advantage of the most current, stable,
and secure Linux kernel and libraries, and best of all, some of the fastest hardware on the planet — Apple G3s, G4s and PowerPC computers (including
IBM RS/6000 model B50 (“Pizzazz”), F50, and 43P-150.) Linux is similar to MacOS, Windows 98, or NT in that it is an operating system. The operating system is the very lowest-level program that runs on a
computer–it launches and manages all of the other programs. The OS also manages memory, network(s), and files.

Linux is unique from other operating systems, however, in that the Linux source code (the underlying “stuff” that makes it all work) is freely
available to anyone with minimal restrictions on how it is to be copied or used. This has several practical advantages:

• Bug-fixes are quick. You, the end user, are not dependant on a single corporation to fix a problem. Since anyone in the world has access to the
  code, the problems are quickly fixed and made available again, for free.

• Linux will be around for a very long time. It may change, grow, expand, but it will most likely never die. No corporation (even Microsoft)
  can halt the production of Linux as everyone has the opportunity to advance Linux, to help it become better than it was. Linux users will never be in
  the position of finding that their OS has been discontinued nor is no longer supported.

• Linux development is driven by “what is best,” not by “what will make us the most money.” Most commercial software development is driven first and
  foremost by marketing, resulting in “bells and whistles” that offer more “features” than function. Because Linux development is not tied to a single
  corporation (much less a single marketing department) it is made to simply “work well” above all else.

Linux is a robust, mature, powerful operating system. It is quickly become the most preferred, most used operating system in the world.
