Pie Box Enterprise Linux 3 is aimed at people who need a stable OS with
a long lifespan but don't want an expensive bundled support contract. It
is derived from open source software with only four packages modified in
order to replace trademarks and logos with our own. Features of Pie Box
Enterprise Linux 3 include the Linux 2.4 kernel, GNOME, Apache 2, Samba
3 and Logical Volume Manager.
Further information regarding Pie Box Enterprise Linux 3 and

PixExcel, based in the United Kingdom, recognised the demand for
enterprise quality Linux software that does not come bundled with an
expensive support contract. This led to the release of Pie Box
Enterprise Linux 3 AS back in April 2004. Since then PixExcel has been
supplying a growing client base ranging from the home enthusiast to
multi-million pound corporations. These clients share one thing in
common - they demand a quality product but are sufficiently skilled to
operate it without the expense of a support contract.
Pie Box Enterprise Linux is a Linux distribution that is derived from
