order to replace trademarks and logos with our own. Features of Pie Box

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
