Patrick E. Bennett, Jr., Computer Consultant ... computing support for small business

Galen Gruman of the important computer industry magazine Infoworld decided to revisit the linux desktop after a 10 year hiatus, and he was surprised at what he found. So surprised, in fact, that he has declared linux on the desktop "ready for the mainstream"!

According to Gruman:

• Desktop Linux is a great choice for many regular Joes ....
• I found that it makes a lot of sense to standardize office workers on desktop Linux. I now understand why governments in Asia and Europe say they want to get off the Microsoft train and shift to Linux.
• Those who standardize on Linux would save serious money on the new equipment needed for Vista or Windows 7, not to mention OS and Office upgrades as well. Your business could, too... Moreover, Linux-based shops would require significantly less training than they would to teach staff Vista or Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007.
