NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 24, 2007 -- Xandros, the leading provider of intuitive
end-to-end Linux desktop and server solutions and Windows and Linux
cross-platform interoperability tools, today announced that Xandros Server
2.0 is the first product to be certified by the Linux Foundation through
use of the LSB Distribution Testkit (LSB DTK). Xandros engineers worked
closely with their Linux Foundation counterparts in perfecting the new,
automated testing procedures that will facilitate broad application
developer support to Xandros Server 2.0 and all other standards-based Linux
operating systems.
"Xandros Server 2.0 brings Linux server solutions closer to mainstream use.
We are especially pleased that Xandros has validated our new testing
toolkit in the process of certifying to the latest LSB specification," said
Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation. "A common testkit
together with common standards paves the way to broad application support
for Xandros and other standards-based Linux solutions providers."
"We are very proud that Xandros Server 2.0 has the honor of being the first
Linux solution to use automated testing procedures to certify to the latest
Linux Foundation LSB specification," said Ming Poon, Xandros VP of Product
Development. "The new testing toolkit worked like a charm and should
provide a major boost to Xandros Server and other standards-based Linux
distributions by making it easier than ever for application vendors to
support the entire Linux ecosystem."
Xandros launched the first Linux server to provide a powerful platform for
enterprise administrators and SMBs with little or no Linux experience. The
next-generation Xandros Server 2.0 line will be available this spring. The
award-winning Xandros Server complements the company's award-winning
desktop, software deployment, and cross-platform management software to
complete an intuitive, end-to-end line of Debian-based Linux solutions. For
