Storm Administration System
Storm Linux 2000 contained the beginnings of an ambitious administration system for Linux called the Storm Administration System (SAS). Storm Linux 2000 contains SAS modules for Networking, Users and PPP. SAS and the modules included with Storm Linux 2000 is licensed under the General Public License.
SAS was module based, allowing the interface client to run separately from its core applications. This allows remote connectivity, giving the user the ability to execute applications on a specific Linux box from other systems. SAS can run in either X or the console from one code base, making it easer to maintian and update code.
SAS works by separating the application or module from the client interface software. The module talks to the client via the network, sending to it the Simple Interface Language (SIL). The client then parses the code and displays the interface.
