PowerHouse on HP-UX -- User interface?

[Deskin, Bob]

I've been asked about Axiant on LINUX. And Neil Harvey asked about
PowerHouse.

The answer is the same for both - unlikely. I rarely say absolutely not, but
at the moment there's no business case for us to proceed with that sort of
thing.

There are also technical reasons. Axiant is a Windows-based product. I can't
see porting it to LINUX. The effort would be substantial and I can't see
there being a payback. Sorry, but this is a business.

As for PowerHouse, we would need to have our Services ported to LINUX and
this is not happening at this time. This is besides the business case. We do
not see much interest in using LINUX as an application platform. I'm not
saying there's none, but not enough at this time to justify development
effort.

That said, we do have the PowerHouse Web PHCGI available on LINUX. That's
because the development effort was reasonable - we already had a UNIX
version. Plus there was definite interest in using LINUX as a Web Server
platform. We have a number of PH Web customers using LINUX Web Servers.

Bob:

What about Axiant on Linux?
