Why Linux and Free Software? |
|
Why should you seriously consider Linux and Free Software for your small business? The most obvious (but not the only) reason is cost. Linux, and most Free Software, is available for free or just the cost of packaging and distribution. More importantly, the software can legally be installed on all your computers.

What's the Free Software bottom line for your business?
Free Software gives you freedom from worry. You know your software is
correctly licensed, and will be in the future, no matter how many computers
you add. No "software police" will threaten your business with audits, lawsuits or fines.
Free Software gives you more cash on your bottom line. With fewer
expenditures for software licensing, you can focus on growing your
business. And Linux has lower hardware requirements for equal performance to other systems, so your hardware lasts longer and costs less, too!
Free Software gives you guaranteed access to your data. Proprietary
software can change, forcing you to upgrade or lose
access to your own data. Because the source code for Free Software is available, you will always be able to access the documents and databases you create with it.
