Concerns with Ubuntu Hardy Heron
I would really like to be able to recommend to a small business client that they adopt Linux because it is lower cost. I have been able to recommend OpenOffice.org to a number of folks, and have even had it accepted. That is because for most users it will perform all the functions for which…
