HP-UX 11i Minimal Technical Operating Environment
(new for June 2001)
The Minimal Technical Operating Environment is new for HP-UX 11i June 2001 OE. It
is the smallest and most fundamental OE that is defined specifically for HP
workstations. It exists to offer an HP-UX 11i solution to the customer who is interested
in a low-cost HP Workstation and a correspondingly basic Operating Environment. The
Minimal Technical Operating Environment is directed to the Workstation OEM market
and to those customers for whom the Technical Computing Operating Environment is
not a suitable solution.
THe Minimal Technical Operating Environment contains all the base functionality that
is common to the other four OEs, including the base 32/64-bit HP-UX Operating System,
network drivers, and other always-installed functionality. However, compared to the
Technical Computing Operating Environment, the set of additional applications is
greatly reduced.
The Minimal Technical Operating Environment is positioned to deliver a sparse set of
high-demand applications that do not increase purchase cost, support cost, or license
cost over the base Operating System.
The HP-UX 11i Minimal Technical Operating Environment includes these
always-installed applications:
• “OpenGL 3D Graphics Developers Kit and Runtime Environment (updated for
September 2001)” on page 82
• “HP-UX Support Tools: STM, ODE, & EMS Hardware Monitors (updated for June
2001)” on page 64
• “Judy Libraries (new for June 2001)” on page 66
• “Netscape Communicator” on page 67
• “Perl Programming Language (new for September 2001)” on page 67
For the available selectable products for this OE, see Table 4-2 on page 59.
