OpenPKG Project (original) (raw)
…the unique Unix software toolkit
for reproducible server solutions!
| OpenPKG since 10 years is the world leading instrument for the cost-effective deployment and maintenance of Open Source Unix server software solutions when administration crosses Unix platform boundaries. OpenPKG provides a flexible and extensive toolkit of about 1500 portable and high-quality Unix server software packages within a fully self-contained packaging framework. | OpenPKG 4 supports all major Unix server platforms, including BSD, GNU/Linux, Solaris and MacOS X flavors, and can be deployed multiple times on a single system without virtualization technologies and with minimum intrusion. The OpenPKG software distribution is updated daily (see download repository activities below) and hence always provides you with the latest Open Source server software. |
