Quite simply, Linux is Open Source... which means, among other things, it's free. Although it's available to everyone at no cost, the meaning of free doesn't end here. Free also means that you're free to use it in any way you see fit. Use it at home, use it at the office, use it on one PC or on ten thousand and one, give a copy to friends, give a copy to co-workers, re-write it, do what ever you want with it because it's yours.

No one person or company owns Linux or the thousands of applications that run under it. Linux is developed by hundreds of thousands of computer scientists, programmers and users from around the world; All of them contributing to the prosperity of the Linux community. But not only do these people write programs for Linux, they're also the people keeping Linux safe. The Linux community is the ultimate ''neighborhood watch'' program.

But being free and open isn't the only reasons you should consider Linux. Quite frankly, it's the best operating system available in the industry today; accompanied by the best applications written by the most talented developers.  The innovations that Linux and free software developers create are those that set the bar for the entire industry. 

No matter how much money the software companies (like Microsoft) throw at innovation, they always fall short of what's created by the free software community.  In the end, they are always the followers and never the leaders in this regard.

Linux is unsurpassed in its stability, flexibility, usability, and security. And with corporate backing, from companies like HP, IBM, Novell, Nvidia, and Sun Microsystems, Linux is the fastest growing operating system the computer world has ever seen.

Many of the features that you'll see appearing in tomorrows software (like Microsoft's next OS, Vista) is already available on Linux desktop PCs TODAY!

Linux isn't just for the computer hobbiest or technical ''geek'' anymore. With intuitive graphical interfaces and desktops environments, along with easy system configuration tools, Linux can be enjoyed by everyone - home and office users alike.  You don't believe it?  Take a short TOUR of a Linux desktop and see for yourself.

Why should companies, like NASA, Industrial Light and Magic, Environment Canada, IBM, and Disney be the only ones to benefit from using Linux? You can too! We can help.
