Linux 

What is Linux?

Simply put, Linux is a reliable and robust open-source operating system.

What can Linux do for you?

Reduce Your Costs

• Because Linux is open-source, it's TCO (total cost of ownership) is much less that of other, more popular operating systems.

  • A copy of Red Hat Linux v8.0 currently costs $79, whereas a copy of Microsoft Windows Server 2000 with 25 client licenses costs $2119.

  • Most software for Linux is available for free.

Easily Integrate Into a Microsoft-Centric Environment

• By use of Samba (from SMB, or Server Message Block), you can count on reliable file and print sharing between a new Linux server and your existing Windows-based workstations.

Optimize Network Performance & Security

• There is virtually no chance of a Linux system being infected by viruses. This is because the vast majority of viruses are specifically written to infect computers with Microsoft operating systems installed.

• Unlike Microsoft's operating systems, Linux is based on the Unix kernel which was designed to cater to the needs of multiple users on a network.
