Jun. 21, 2002

ShaoLin Microsystems announced the release of Aptus 2.0 beta, a fit client network architecture based Linux workstation deployment and management solution with both the centralized management and reliability of thin clients, plus the performance and flexibility of PC's. Aptus 2.0 beta is now available for download here.
