Linux-FT : Unix Is Now Closer Than You Thought
Linux-FT is unlike any other distribution you have used before.
Containing many new and revolutionary features not present on any other
product, with a full range of variations to suit almost every
conceivable application it is already making other distributions look
outdated.
The full package comprises an excess of 5 (five) CD-ROM's and a complete
integrated Motif development system.
What's so Special?
------------------
It's not just the ELF binary and development environment, nor the 1.2 kernel
and XFree86-3.1.1 (all ELF) that makes Linux-FT special :
What make Linux-FT so different
-------------------------------
The differences start the moment you begin installation. You can either
install using a boot floppy or by using the install.exe program from a
DOS system. Unlike distributions where the boot floppy tries to guess
the hardware you are using, or others where you have attempt to make a
floppy disk from a number of possibilities, Linux-FT presents you with
a menu of the hardware present, and you select the hardware to boot from.
This could be a floppy disk, local hard disk, CD-ROM or NFS- mounted. And
unlike other distributions who seem to be obsessed with disk-sets,
Linux-FT uses unique copy-cache technology to copy files from the CD-ROM to
the hard-disk as and when you use them.
- No nonsense.
- No guesswork.
- Simplicity itself!
At-A-Glance-Reference
--------------------
What's New :
copy-cache : makes installation a truly hands-off affair.
YP and NIS : Linux-FT has a full implementation of YP and NIS
Boot Management All new GUI style Boot Manager
xadmin tool: An extremely easy to use X based administration tool
ELF: Full ELF distribution
kernel: 1.2
applications: demo's of commercial applications
Window Manager: ELF format OSF/Motif 2.0 mwm runtime license included
WWW connected: Already configured for WWW and the Internet
Multi-Lingual: Versions available in English, French, German,
Italian, and Spanish. (not available with some
supplied applications)
Motif: Full version of Motif 2.0 available.
html: Extensive specific documentation in html format.
But can I use the older a.out format Binaries?
----------------------------------------------
Linux-FT supports old a.out binary formats.
Is it expensive?
----------------
There are packages available for the cost-conscious and those wanting to
upgrade from other distributions.
Say Good-bye to Disk Sets!
--------------------------
Installation is even simpler. With revolutionary ``copy-cache``
technology, all you do is mount the CD-ROM and the system almost
installs itself. Every time you access a file on the CD-ROM it is
automatically copied to the hard disk as you are using the system.
Naturally, you can install complete packages as well if you want a
one-shot installation. copy-cache is fully configurable allowing you to
control the file systems copied across and how much free disk space you want
to leave free.
With copy-cache there are :
o No more disk sets.
o No more pressing the return endlessly as the files are
copied.
o No more package copying
o No more hassle
Linux-FT's copy-cache technology gives you no fuss installation - you'll be
using your system while the other are still trying to install theirs.
Configuration is easy too! With the sophisticated X Windows based
configuration scripts, you can configure your printers, networks and
disk sub-systems using a user-friendly console. So, say good-bye to the
endless manual file editing.
International Language Support
------------------------------
Linux-FT is available in the following languages :
o English
o French
o German
o Spanish
o Japanese (in development)
o Korean (in development)
o Italian
Note that parts of the system (eg GNU) and manual pages may remain in English.
Software
--------
All the expected features are present, Andrew distribution, TCP/IP,
multimedia support, full C/C++ development environment, X11R6 runtime and
development packages with full documentation.
As you would expect, Linux-FT uses the 1.2 kernel which offers
compatibility with the latest hardware.
SCO Binary Compatibility
Better still, Linux-FT allows you to run SCO binaries with the iBCS
library (due to time and other practical constraints, it has not been
possible to test this will all SCO binaries, but we do know that
Infomix, Word Perfect, Frame and most compilers work).
ELF
Linux-FT is a joint ELF and a.out binary distribution allowing you to
develop ELF binaries whilst still using the older a.out format binaries.

NIS package 1.0
---------------
Linux-FT NIS is a distributed network information database fully compatible
with SUN NIS.
Linux-FT NIS is a replacement for the standard Linux C-library implementation.
Many of the database lookup routines have been modified to consult
the NIS services and unlike other NIS packages available for Linux,
Linux-FT NIS provides the full set of NIS daemons and client programs.
While maintaining binary compatibility, it provides many advanced
features and bug fixes:
- NIS daemons ypbind, ypserv, yppasswd, ypupdated
- Support for multiple concurrent domain bindings
- Dynamic binding/rebinding of clients
- Support for slave servers
- Secure RPC with DES encrypted session keys (secure RPC is subject to
local laws and may not be available in some geographical areas)
- Securenets facilities to restrict server access
- Various performance enhancements
- Automatic updating of remote databases
- Consistent handling of netgroups
- NIS support for sendmail and automounter

Boot Management
---------------
Linux-FT will co-exist on the same hard disk as other operating systems
such as DOS, NT, Windows, OS/2 and other Linux's !! Linux-FT comes with
two Boot Managers :
LILO
Providing compatibility with other, older technology
distributions. We strongly recommend that you use the Linux-FT
Boot Manager included :
Linux-FT Boot Manager
Configuration and control of bootable partitions on your system
no longer requires often cryptic system-file editing and the
manual execution of scripts. The Linux-FT Boot manager presents
you with a fully configurable list of bootable partitions in an
easy to use GUI format. Once tried, you will never go back to
LILO again!!
Graphical User Interfaces
-------------------------
SWiM (OSF/Motif) versions 1.2.4-R6 or 2.0-R6 are recommended for
Linux-FT. The Xad OSF/Motif GUI builder is also recommended, the demo
version is supplied on the CD. SWiM has been running with Linux-FT in
ELF form since the start of the 1995 with none of the usual a.out
binary format problems.
System Configuration
--------------------
Is easily done with the unique xadmin tool. This user-friendly GUI
interface enables you to configure networks, printers disks and much
more. Available in both X and termcap modes.
Future Developments and Update Cycle
------------------------------------
Linux-FT is developing fast, future weeks will see :
- Full POSIX conformance
- DCE conformance and development tools
- Linux-FT Lite
- ISDN server (part of the Linux-FT Server product)
Linux-FT is updated approximately every 6 weeks - contact us or your
reseller for upgrade prices.
Linux-FT Variants
-----------------
With flexibility in mind, Linux-FT comes in the following packages.
note that prices may vary from region to region and may be subject to
postal charges and local taxes.
Linux-FT (Runtime, 2 CD's) $30.00
The base FT media set comprising the FT runtime and source CD's (two CD's)
Installation guide on CD-ROM.
Linux-FT (4 CD's + mwm + Installation Guide) $99.00
In addition to the two runtime media CD's you also get the sunsite and TSX11
archives on 2 CD's and the Linux-FT installation guide in printed form
(around 200 pages). Unlike some other distributions, this guide has been
specially written to accompany Linux-FT
The following bundles are also available,
Linux-FT + Dr Linux
Dr Linux is a 1200 page book weighing around 1.85kg covering essential
Linux installation topics.
Linux-FT + Motif
A full ELF based Motif runtime and development environment on CD
complete with the OSF Motif Users guide in hardcopy and extensive OSF
documentation in printable form.
Contact your reseller for more information.
Adding Motif Later
------------------
The ELF version of SWiM Motif (ELF) version is recommended for
Linux-FT and can be purchased separately. This ELF version has been
running since the beginning of 1995. Competitive Upgrades are available.
Upgrades
--------
