1. Introduction
Ximian Red Carpet is a program designed to help you manage the software you have on your computer. It can help you install, update, and remove programs, without making you keep track of dependencies and conflicts yourself. It works with the package management structures your operating systems already has, so you can use it alongside command-line tools without running into conflicts.
Ximian Red Carpet also gives you access to two important services from Ximian, Inc. The first service, Red Carpet Express, is for individuals, and offers access to special high-speed servers with faster connections, so you get better download rates. The other service, Ximian CorporateConnect, is aimed at businesses and workgroups that want to manage software deployment on a relatively large scale.
To find out more about using Red Carpet Express, read Section 3. For more about Red Carpet CorporateConnect, visit the Ximian website.
