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.

If you are presently running Windows or Mac OS, start by checking out some Free Software projects that are cross-platform. These applications are available for Windows, Mac and Linux, so you can try the Windows or Mac version first, see the capabilities of the program first-hand, and dip your toes in Free Software water, risk-free.

The Linux Terminal Server Project allows you to save money by using inexpensive thin clients or old computers that you thought were past their useful life. Other advantages are reduced power requirements, reduced heat generation, centralized administration and control, and all the other benefits that come from Free software .
