Linux 经销商 Caldera 发布了 Open Unix 8——其Linux/Unix 混合体,向统一 Linux 和 Unix 操作系统迈进了一小步。Open Unix 8将使 Linux 应用能够在 Unix 内核上运行,该内核是 Caldera 通过其对坚定的 Unix 支持者 SCO 的操作系统和专业服务部门即将进行的并购而获得的。Caldera 还将推广供独立软件开发商为该平台编写新的应用而使用的工具。Caldera 的首席执行官 Ransom Love 说,Open Unix8将保持与 SCO 的 UnixWare7的兼容性,同时提供使Linux 工具能够运行的完整环境。Love 在德国汉诺威举行的 CeBIT 计算机交易会上对 ZDNet 说,Open Unix 8将把 Unix 的稳定性与 Linux 的开发商基础结合起来。Love 说:“它将 UNIX 的传统与 Linux 的动力结合起来了。它将是我们用于数据密集型应用如数据库、电子邮件和供应链管理的一款杰出产品。”Love 说,Caldera 希望成为 Unix 和 Linux 企业计算机系统的主要提供商,并且在全球高端计算领域确立领导地位。尽管适用于 Intel 的 Itanium 处理器的64位 Linux
Caldera, a Linux distributor, released Open Unix 8, its Linux/Unix hybrid, and made a small step toward unifying Linux and Unix operating systems. Open Unix 8 will enable Linux applications to run on the Unix kernel, which Caldera obtained through its upcoming acquisition of firm Unix supporter SCO’s operating system and professional services. Caldera will also promote the tools used by independent software developers to write new applications for the platform. Ransom Love, CEO of Caldera, said that Open Unix8 will maintain compatibility with SCO’s UnixWare7 and provide a complete environment for Linux tools to run. Love told ZDNet at the CeBIT computer fair in Hannover, Germany, that Open Unix 8 will combine the stability of Unix with the developer base of Linux. Love said: “It combines the tradition of UNIX with the power of Linux. It will be an outstanding product for our data-intensive applications such as database, e-mail and supply chain management.” Love said Caldera wants to be Unix. It is a major provider of Linux enterprise computer systems and has established a leading position in the world of high-end computing. Although 64-bit Linux for Intel’s Itanium processor
