Merhaba,
Asagidaki mesaji ozetlemek gerekirse, kutuphane otomasyonu konusunda en
gelismis ve profesyonel yazilimlardan biri olan (son zamanlarin en populer
programi) Innopac'in ureticisi Innovative Interfaces Inc., programin Java
tabanli versiyonunu Linux uzerinde calistirdigini ve Linux'un windows'a
gore ustunluklerini anlatiyor. 200-500 bin dolarlik entegre yazilim satan
sirket, client olarak Linux'u alternatif kabul ediyor, ustelik Windows'dan
bariz ustun oldugunu da soyluyor.
Bakalim Windows 2000'ciler buna ne diyecekler? ("Win 2000, saniyede 8
miyon kitap odunc verip bir rekor kirdi" olabilir.)

Innovative Introduces Linux for Millennium as an Alternative to Windows
April 26, 2000, Emeryville, California - Innovative Interfaces, a leader
in
information technology for libraries, announced that it has now installed
Linux on its Web and Java based Millennium integrated library system.
According to Jerry Kline, Innovative's President and CEO, "Linux benefits
our partner libraries because it provides a viable alternative to
Microsoft
Windows, and demonstrates our commitment to offer libraries a choice of
operating systems. Linux and other alternative desktop solutions will
ultimately reduce the total cost of ownership for thousands of
workstations."
Running Millennium under Linux is a satisfying validation of both Java's
success in achieving platform independence, and the unlimited potential of
the Linux community in rapidly providing state-of-the-art software such as
the Java Runtime Environments.
Doug Randall, Innovative's Technology Product Manager, said, "Java is
evolving so rapidly that commercial vendors can fall behind in delivering
the latest Java features in their proprietary environments. However, the
Linux community has really delivered, with support of the latest Java
features in an open, stable operating environment."
Randall added, "Linux is really shifting into the mainstream. Instead of
using one of our lab systems, we picked a system from a magazine ad
preloaded with Red Hat Linux, and ready to go. Loading the latest and
greatest Java for Linux was no trouble, with both a commercially supported
version available directly from Sun, and another from the Linux
community's
Blackdown project."
"Java-based Millennium really looks and runs the same whatever the
hardware
or operating system is underneath. Once they've started Millennium from
the
desktop or browser, the user really sees the same application whether
they're running the Java environment under Windows or Linux. It's all
Java
from the Millennium side of things."
The Santa Clara University Library is currently running Millennium with
Linux.
Fred Gertler, Santa Clara's Library Coordinator said, "It has certainly
been our experience to date that once in the Millennium Circulation
module,
one cannot tell which operating system is running underneath it.
Millennium Circulation could be running on the Windows OS, Linux OS, or
whatever else, but functionally, it really makes no difference. That's
the
way it should be."
Innovative's Linux development not only demonstrates the benefits of Java
as a multi-platform tool, but also reinforces Innovative's position as the
industry leader.
