Linux is free. That's right, you can download it, burn it to CD, and install it to your hearts content, without ever having to pay for it. The words 'piracy' and 'stealing' never apply to open-source software. In fact, the open-source community encourages everyone to use their products and suggest ways to make them better.
Linux is easy to use. Linux has included desktop management tools for several years. Installing printers, setting up an email account, cutting-and-pasting images and text, and keeping your system updated can be as simple as point-and-click.
Linux is stable. What happens when you're working on an important document or spreadsheet and your computer 'locks up,' forcing a reboot? Are you less than thrilled at the thought of losing all your recent changes? Linux systems are known to run for months, even years, without crashing or needing to be rebooted. Stability and reliability can help save time and money.
Most Linux applications are compatible with other operating systems and applications. Linux comes with OpenOffice, a free office suite that's fully compatible with other popular office software. You can open a document, spreadsheet or presentation, make changes, save and email it to someone. They'll never know you used OpenOffice because the document will still be in its native format. Take a look at some screenshots of the OpenOffice suite of tools. Linux also comes with a free alternative to expensive image-rendering software called The Gimp. Of course, in the true open-source spirit, you can use The Gimp to open, edit and save changes to files in other formats. Here are some screenshots of The Gimp.
Linux is virtually virus and spyware free. Has battling persistant viruses caused you to lose productivity? Do you spend big bucks on your anti-virus or spyware removal tools? Linux comes with a tight firewall and is immune to most viruses and spyware. Did we mention Linux provides all these features for free?
Linux works with lots of peripherals. Besides, there are many Web resources where you can research the peripheral you're looking to buy to see how well it works with Linux.
Ready to switch? If you're tired of spending your hard-earned money to license expensive, proprietary software that is very susceptible to viruses, Linux is ready for you. If you hate applications that crash all the time and require frequent reboots, Linux is ready for you. Let IGO Linux Solutions show you how to increase efficiency and improve your bottom line. You don't have to be a geek anymore to use Linux. Discover how IGO Linux Solutions is making Linux for the rest of us.
