Linux information

Linux is an operating system, just as Windows is. What's different is they way it's designed. Linux is built with security, stability and performance as the primary features. Recently, Windows has been suffering from a barrage of attacks by various worms and viruses. Linux, by it's very design, is immune to virtually all of these types of attacks. In addition, it's extremely stable (meaning fewer server reboots) and highly efficient (meaning you can do more with less hardware).

"So, what can Linux do for me?"

Well, it can be a file and print server. It can be a mail and web server. It can be a database server to run your accounting system. It can do pretty much anything you want it to. And it will do it more cost effectively than Windows. Cost means not only purchase cost, but also setup and maintenance costs. As well as costs associated with server downtime. Linux minimizes all these costs and creates a network environment where you don't have to think about your servers and instead can focus on getting your work done, on time, every time.

"If I use Linux on my servers, do my workstations have to be Linux as well?"

Of course not. Linux servers can inter-operate with all versions of Windows, Unix, even Mac workstations. A network built on Linux servers will look and feel exactly like a network built on Windows servers. To the users, they're indistinguishable. The only difference you'll see is how well your network runs.

I am an expert in Linux and I have experience with several of the more popular Linux distributions including Mandrake, Debian, Redhat and Suse. Contact me for Linux service of any kind.
