Linux is becoming more accepted in the mainstream these days.

IBM, Dell, Intel and HP have become strong Linux supporters. The Linux Foundation emerged in 2007 to help support Linux in the marketing and legal arenas. The landscape is changing and people and companies need to be aware that they have options that are reliable and well supported as they evaluate their technology options for the future.

HP recently made announcements supporting our favorite Linux distribution for their Proliant and BladeSystem servers. After thorough tests IBM concluded that The Linux system is reliable and stable over long durations and can provide a robust, enterprise-level environment.

Triangulus uses all Linux boxes in house. We run no Windows software, yet we are able to communicate with the rest of the world smoothly and effectively. Triangulus has never paid one US cent for software licenses or purchases from Microsoft or any other software provider, we hum along happily and securely on free Linux software and solutions.

The main Windows alternative solutions are Open Office for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, the GNU Image Manipulation Project for image processing (Photoshop) and the award winning Mozilla/Firefox web browser. These are all very capable programs that allow users to read and write the major file formats smoothly and communicate easily between Windows, Mac and Linux.

We invite your inquiries into what Linux can do for you, your business and your creative endeavors.

Users and companies need to keep in mind that powerful programs (free or nonfree) need training for users to make the most of them. To make full use of OpenOffice you need as much training as you do to make full use of Microsoft Word.
