- Netscape Communicator and Mozilla are public
downloads used for Internet browsing.
- RedHat Linux Enterprise comes with the Dell Precision
line. In the future, other Linux distributions
will be looked at as well.
- Meeting Maker is web-based and is known to be
difficult to use.
- Remedy is a work request standard adopted for
