OpenSource

by Cliff Quinn last modified 2008-10-07 08:47 PM

The strength of Open Source comes from the participants. Here are some of the Open Source products we use and support.

Linux
Linux is a free, reliable, secure Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds. In addition to being cost-effective, it is constantly being updated and refined with the latest technologies. We use the Debian distribution of Linux, specifically Ubuntu.

Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system suitable for both desktop and server use. It is freely available with both community and professional support, and "just works" out of the box.

MySQL
MySQL is the world's most popular open source database, recognized for its speed and reliability.

OpenOffice
OpenOffice.org is the open source project through which Sun Microsystems is releasing the technology for the popular StarOffice productivity suite.

Plone
Plone is a leading content management system that combines great ease of use with a powerful workflow engine and the industry's first standards compliant templating system. Plone is powered by Zope and Python.

TightVNC
TightVNC is an improved version of VNC, a free, cross-platform, remote desktop package. It allows you to control your computer remotely over TCP/IP networks. It offers many new features, improvements, and bug fixes over the standard VNC, and allows more configuration options in the GUI. TightVNC can be used to perform remote administration tasks in Windows, Unix, and mixed network environments. Also, it can be useful in distant learning and remote customer support.

Zope
Zope is a free, open source web application platform used for building high-performance, dynamic web sites. It contains a powerful and simple scripting object model, and a high-performance, integrated object database.

NetDrive
NetDrive is a useful WebDav client that was distributed by Netware many years ago and is no longer supported.
