1. About this document

This is the Linux Commercial-HOWTO. It contains a listing of commercial software which is available for Linux. The Commercial-HOWTO doesn't contain any information on Linux distributions -- this is covered by the Distribution-HOWTO.

This document was originated by Harald Milz <Harald.Milz@Linux.org>. It is now maintained by Martin Michlmayr <tbm@sypher.com>.

If you need to know more about the Linux Documentation Project or about Linux HOWTO's, feel free to contact the supervisor Greg Hankins <gregh@sunsite.unc.edu>.

Greg Hankins will post the listing to several national and international newsgroups on a monthly basis. In addition, the Commercial-HOWTO is available via FTP at ftp://ftp.sypher.com/tbm/HOWTO or can be found on the World Wide Web at http://www.sypher.com/tbm/Commercial-HOWTO.

The Commercial-HOWTO is not a forum for product announcements or marketing hype; it is a service for potential customers and the whole Linux community. Resellers will not be listed; the list is for companies who produce their software themselves. Two main goals are being aimed at:

Companies and developers who are offering their products for Linux and interested in joining the Commercial-HOWTO are invited to fill in the following form and contact me at tbm@sypher.com.

This HOWTO contains tabular entries for each product (example follows). The entry format is similar to the Linux Software Map (LSM) entry (field/stanza lengths are arbitrary). If you want me to add your entry please keep short, otherwise I'll have to shorten your data. Furthermore, please send me plain ASCII data; no HTML, no Postscript, and no MIME.

If you send me an entry for your product, please don't forget to send me timely updates if appropriate.
