Want to Move to Linux - Think UBUNTU



As a Corporate have you been contemplating moving your desktops to Linux, well what has stopped you, If I may, I can lay down a few things

  • It is free
  • No Long term Support
  • Versions Change very fast
  • No Corporate Support


Well, all of this is changing except part 1, where It is Free is still the essence (except in case of Red Hat Enterprise Linux). If you are a small corporate (say 20 to 40 desktops), and are looking at Linux as a great viable next step, think Ubuntu. The company that produced the best Desktop OS that was available till date, and now offers Long Term Support.

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS introduces functionality that simplifies common Linux server deployment processes. For system administrators setting up large numbers of web, mail and related servers, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS offers the fastest and most consistent path to deployment, combined with the availability of global commercial support where needed. "Ubuntu has a reputation for working well out of the box on desktops, and we have worked to bring that same ease of deployment and configuration to the server marketplace" said Mark Shuttleworth, founder of the Ubuntu project. "Based on our analysis of the ways people were already deploying Ubuntu on servers, we have aimed to streamline their experience while expanding the range of software available to people deploying Ubuntu in the data centre."


The Latest version of their Desktop and Server OS is o ut, and may I say, I am thinking of another format of my laptop to get Ubuntu back in Place ... Download it from Ubuntu.com.
