Some of you who have been watching my signature change over the
last little bit may have noticed that Avalon has morphed
into HyperLINq. We have moved from a Linux centric network
services company to a Linux centric software company.
What we have done is marry a Linux backend to a Windows
front-end.
We are an OEM licensee for Win4Lin, and have created a product
called WinLINq that works with Win4Lin to deploy Windows
desktops to Thin PCs.
In my office, most of us run Linux, but for those of us that
sometimes need a Windows app we run remotely displayed Windows
app running on our WinLINq server. The guy in our office
running a Mac uses WinLINq to run Windows on his Mac. We also
turn PCs into Thin PCs that allow us to run Windows on machines
as slow as 486/DX 66.
The really cool thing is that in most instances we deliver
Windows desktops to users and only sophisticated users notice
anything different. However, we are in at least one school
where they are excited about the prospect of being able to
"raise the curtain" on Windows and show off the Linux running
underneath. It is sort of a Trojan Horse concept of getting
Linux into places that don't see a need for it.
