Accelerating Linux

Linux Not Compelling
Xinet CEO Scott Seebass reports that, as a spinoff of MT Xinu—the first company to develop commercial versions of Berkeley UNIX—Xinet has had a very long history with UNIX and emerging, UNIX-like operating systems.

"Linux is very similar to many of the operating systems that Xinet software already supports. And delivering our prepress products on Linux would be very easy for us, technically," Seebass states. However, at this point in time, he says that Xinet does not see any compelling reason for customers to choose to run machines on Linux instead of one of its existing, supported operating systems.
