From: Alexey Rusakov <rusakov@altlinux.ru> To: altlinux-announce-en@lists.altlinux.org Subject: [altlinux-announce-en] ALT Linux releases Platform Five products Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:52:57 +0300 Message-ID: <1256820777.9712.68.camel@latitude.arlan> (raw) [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3287 bytes --] Hi everybody, ALT Linux announces public availability of two products based on Platform Five: ALT Linux 5.0 Ark, a suite designed for making integrated solutions, and ALT Linux 5.0 School, a suite that is targetted at secondary and high schools. ALT Linux 5.0 Ark includes 2 distributions for 2 architectures (i586 and x86_64): * ALT Linux 5.0 Ark Server; * ALT Linux 5.0 Ark Desktop. Details are available at http://en.altlinux.org/ALT_Linux_5.0_Ark You can download ISO images of ALT Linux 5.0 Ark from ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p5/iso/ark/ , or your nearest ALT Linux mirror (the list of mirrors, as usual, is available at http://www.altlinux.com/en/go/download). ALT Linux 5.0 School consists of 4 distributions: * ALT Linux 5.0 School Server * ALT Linux 5.0 School Lite * ALT Linux 5.0 School Junior * ALT Linux 5.0 School Master Details are available at http://en.altlinux.org/ALT_Linux_5.0_School (will be available shortly) You can download ISO images of ALT Linux 5.0 School from ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p5/iso/school/ , or the nearest mirror. The most prominent features of the server distributions are: * Enterprise-class network organization * Host-based authorization of users and services * Connecting distributed systems together via VPN * Host-based updates of servers and workstations throughout your LAN * Network installation and setup of workstations * Virtualization environment based on OpenVZ and KVM technologies * Automated host-based backup and restore functionality for all the network, including single files restore * A unified file storage with quota support * Automatic RAID1 setup if two or more identical discs are detected * Simple and convenient administration by means of an innovative web-interface that doesn't require profound administration skills * Moodle and MediaWiki are bundled and installed along with School Server Desktop distributions sport the following features: * Graphical desktops: GNOME (Ark Desktop, School Junior), XFCE (School Lite), KDE 4 (School Master) * Improved interaction with server distributions and virtual machines that use Platform Five technologies, including out-of-the-box availability of a terminal service * Ready to use office suite to work with WWW, e-mail, common office documents including those stored in OpenXML formats * Host-based authorization (needs support from the server; all Platform Five servers support this) * Seemless integration with the server file storage (needs support from the server; all Platform Five servers support this) Both suites increase the productivity of everyday work greatly, when you use the server and the desktop along in the same network. Host-based authentication, automatic network resources mounting, Zeroconf publish-subsribe technology. A useful and important feature is virtualization, with OpenVZ and KVM technologies available, depending on a virtual machine profile. Even unexperienced administrators can deal with Platform Five servers thanks to a convenient and easy to use AJAX-enabled web-interface based on ALTerator system. Happy using! -- Alexey Rusakov Technical Manager/International Relations Manager ALT Linux [-- Attachment #2: Эта часть сообщения подписана цифровой подписью --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 198 bytes --]
