Founded by Ian Murdock and Bruce Perens, two leading Linux developers, Progeny has begun development of a technology that challenges traditional models of network computing. Workstation environments are scalable, flexible and affordable. Centralized computers make sharing resources easy, and are simple to maintain. Our goal is to combine the best features of both. With only one system to manage, instead of hundreds, system administration becomes simpler.
Security is improved.
With files and other resources shared across the entire system, the user's environment becomes a unified whole. In Linux NOW, the network and workstation will meet in a way you've never seen before. Progeny bases its development on the Debian version of Linux, the operating system that is the major rival to UNIX and Windows NT in the server market. Named for Ian Murdock and his wife Debra, Debian has a reputation for quality and stability. Debian is also known for its sophisticated tools for installing and removing software, as well as for its commitment to Open Source software.
