Easy to use interface and immediate Software Deployment!

Every business large and small can benefit from automation. In the past dependable software installation either came through manual means or was dependent on large costly complex infrastructures that can take a toll on resources.

For smaller companies, the time, money, and training to implement and maintain such an infrastructure became a preventive challenge for implementing. For larger businesses these larger systems are generally slow and offer little in the area of quick & flexible software delivery.

Thats exactly where our Remote Software Installation Utility comes in. Small to medium businesses will benefit from the ease of use and Per-Administrator licensing unique to our product.

Larger businesses will enjoy the freedom and agility gained through clientless software installation. It is perfect for smaller distributions and cleaning up the stragglers that sometimes are missed through normal distribution means.

Per-Administrator Licensing

Since our software doesnt use a client on the remote computers targeted, you may enjoy the benefit of no client licensing.

This means that only the administrators using the utility to manage remote systems need a license. This unique pricing plan means a tremendous value for any sized organization and desktopserver support team.

For example: There are 2,000 systems to which you want to distribute a software package. There are 2 administrators dedicated to accomplishing this task. When purchasing our software you would buy 2 licenses, not 2,000!

Here are some key features of "Remote Software Installation":

· Deploy MSI, EXE, Batch and VBS files
· Real-time installation progress
· Import Target List of Systems from Active Directory
· Import Target List of Systems from Custom Text File
· Reboot, Shutdown, or Logoff upon installation completion
· Schedule Installation for a Specific Date and Time
· Simultaneous streams of deployment
· Export Results to Excel

Fedora Multimedia Installation HOWTO will explain how to get various multimedia apps working under Fedora Core.

How to get various proprietary and restricted multimedia Damned Things (AVI, Flash, Java, MP3, MPEG, QuickTime, RealMedia, Windows Media) working under Fedora Core using your normal package-management tools. Includes Firefox-plugin instructions. Now with coverage of both 32- and 64-bit Intel-architecture systems.

Unfortunately, the news in FC5 is almost all bad. Totem and Xine are both completely broken.

There are some Damned Things like enabling Java and Flash in Mozilla, playing MP3 files, playing Quicktime/AVI/RealMedia/Windows Media streams, and playing encrypted DVDs that the Fedora distro folks wont tell you how to do, either because theyre afraid of being sued under the DMCA or for various other esthetic and political reasons.

This HOWTO collects the relevant information in one place. It is not a general multimedia-on-Linux HOWTO; if it were, there are hundreds of nifty tools and packages it would list (starting with the GIMP and all its kindred and forks and symbiotes). The packages well cover here are just the legal and political hot potatoes, the stuff that threatens monopolies and worries lawyers.
