About The Linux Emporium
The Linux Emporium is part of Thyme Software Limited. Thyme has been formed to incorporate two leading UK Open Source companies: The Linux Emporium and Clockwork Software Systems.
Clockwork was founded in 1987 to provide bespoke software development services for the Unix operating system, and it was a natural progression to move to Linux during the nineties. Today Clockwork is a leading UK developer of FLOSS (Free Libre and Open Source Software) and won the award for 'Best Linux/Open Source Application' at the London LinuxWorld Expo in October 2005 for our PayThyme payroll.
The Linux Emporium was founded in 1997, growing out of an earlier cooperative effort to provide access to cheap Linux CDs (the Linux Buyers' Consortium). To begin with it was a part-time activity for one person (John Winters) but it's grown and was sold by John to ChyGwyn Limited in 2003. In November 2005 Steve Whitehouse of Chygwyn sold the Emporium to Thyme/Clockwork. We very much appreciate all the hard work that John and Steve have put in and we intend to run it with the original sprit very much in mind, whilst developing it to suit the growing demand for Linux and FLOSS products.
