HP-UX 11i Minimal Technical Operating Environment

new for
June 2001

New for June 2001, the Minimal Technical Operating Environment 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 applications. 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 lean 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:

For the available selectable products for this OE, see Table 4-2 “Selectable Applications”.
