"BEA WebLogic Server 7.0 provides superior scalability and reliability on all of the major platforms, including Red Hat Linux, to deliver a low cost alternative to the enterprise."

"Borland is proud to be presenting our C++ version of Kylix 3, the number one Linux IDE with Red Hat at LinuxWorld," said Simon Thornhill, vice president and general manager of Borland. "With Kylix running on Red Hat Linux, companies can quickly develop and deliver database, GUI, Web, and Web services applications in one integrated environment.
