hi, all,

I am new reader here, I hope there can be more article about using Linux in small company, for small company, the cost savings is one key factor. The other primary factor is freedom from licensing dominance that occurs in any non-Opensource environment. Linux is enabling large and small corporations world wide to end one of their most significant overhead costs with relative ease.

The interesting thing, for me, is how well Linux can co-mingle with a pre-existing infrastructure. It allows for a slow (read: cheaper) transition, and in the end, you don't have to be using 100% Linux and open source stuff to be happy.

I'm curious, what sorts of things are you looking at doing in your business? Are you dependent on specific software packages?

This kinda stuff is fun to talk about. :)
