City finds big savings in Linux

—

Glad to see this. Wish more cities would wise up to not only the savings but the stability and openness. The drm restrictions on windoze products is getting worse and with LongTimeHorny coming it’s time to either make the switch or be locked in and quit bitching cause you done it to yo self…

And yes linux is ready for the desktop. And the apps are easy to install at least on some distros. PC Linux OS is one of the best I have found. It’s easy to try as it comes as a Live CD. Just pop it in the cd drive and reboot. Very easy to get used to with minor readjustment. Open office and Firefox take care of most of the general users needs and software install and update is in one application and most times you’re a click away from any app that is designed for that system. For those that need a windoze app there is Wine. Again a click install and quick configure and (most times) install the windoze app and then just click to run it.

Yes there are differences. But the time to switch and get others to switch is now. If we as techs continue to support companies that support drm and the windoze conspiracy we are letting big biz/gov win.

Make the switch now, you and your clients have nothing to loose but your:
BSODs
VIRII
Spam Generating Zombies
etc…
