Promoting The Benefits Of Open Source

Software For Home and Business


Some of the benefits of Open Source Operating Systems & Software:

  • Operating system & software are usually free--reducing cost of ownership
  • Free from viruses, Trojan horses, malware, spyware
  • Will run on current and older hardware generally faster than MicroSoft Windows
  • Software available for multiple operating systems
  • File sharing with user level security

If you can answer "Yes" to more than one of the following questions, then maybe an Open Source solution is right for you or your business.

  • Are you tired of fighting the constant threat of viruses?
  • Are you currently paying for virus, spyware & malicious software protection?
  • Do you want to upgrade to a current operating system but find that you have to purchase new hardware just to run it or your current peripherals are no longer supported?
  • Do you notice your computer becoming "slower" over time due to installing software, running virus software and other unnecessary background services?
  • Did you know there is a free open source alternative to MicroSoft Windows, MicroSoft Office and to almost any software that you use? (see links page)

If you read the End User License Agreement to any of the software that comes with your computer - especially that of any Microsoft product — you will find that you do not own what is running on your computer.
