Just about everybody on the planet has heard about the open-source operating system called Linux. Heck you can even talk to her grandmother and she’s heard about. But funny enough it’s almost like folklore to the common person. Everybody’s heard about but nobody really knows anything about it or is even seen it. I was once joking that Linux is a lot like the Sasquatch. It’s an elusive beast that seems to not be taken serious by anybody but is been taken very seriously by many Fortune 500 companies.
Let me take a second to explain myself. I personally use Linux within my business for many years. One of the main reasons I did was not to save money but to provide flexibility to my business. I’ve nothing against commercial corporate systems but sometimes I find that this open-source offering system augments those other systems very well. For example when building a server for a small company I find that Linux fits the bill at times much better than Windows server does.
Also for web development I find that Linux is the platform you want to develop on. It’s very robust and very secure. It has the benefit of many years of its UNIX roots. Whereas other operating systems are playing catch-up. I’ve worked with many companies large and small have used Linux to run their web-based applications within the company and to the outside public. You can service more clients, faster and better. Plus there’s a large development community that has probably encountered every problem that you may encounter on your server. Because it’s open source most of the information is also open-source.
If you’re interested in using Linux or introducing it to your clients if you are a computer person I’m going to give you simple recommendation. Don’t try to sell Linux as Linux. Sell a solution like a low-cost file and data backup server. Sell its benefits not its name. Another unfortunate thing that has occurred to the general public when it comes to Linux is the fact that many people don’t take this offering system seriously. Many think it’s just a toy. Whether you believe it or not this is one serious operating system. It’s extremely robust. As a side note it’s important to note that it is so robust that it can run for years without a reboot. So instead of trying to defend the Linux name simply install a solution based upon Linux and let them ask you what it is after their very happy with what you’ve done. When they discover that their business runs on Linux you already have made them a convert. In other words you’ve shown them the Sasquatch!

Corporate America has been looking for ways to reduce the cost of ownership associated with Microsoft Windows®-based computing causing the popularity of Windows-based Thin Clients coupled with deployment of Terminal Server and Citrix grow at a rapid rate. A new trend has been developing; enterprises are now trying to reduce costs further by moving to “intelligent” Thin Clients.
In contrast to “dumb” thin clients, which simply acted as terminals allowing access from desktops to server-based applications, “intelligent” Thin Clients come with built-in emulation software; e-mail; a full-function browser–such as Mozilla Firefox or full Internet Explorer–supporting JVM, Flash and XML; and pop-up window support. These intelligent Thin Clients are served up with Linux or Windows XPe operating systems, and allow access to a file server as well as Web-delivered applications such as Lotus Notes, WebSphere, etc.
Several options now exist for companies wishing to deploy Microsoft Office-type thin client products:
Traditional: Serve up these applications using Microsoft Terminal Server (2000 or 2003 server), Citrix, etc., delivered using a remote desktop protocol. Costs associated with this method are: Terminal Server Client Access License at $120; Client Access License at $30; Microsoft Office Professional at $395; and Citrix (if applicable) at $250. The total software cost per user is $545 to $795. The total cost of ownership for software and hardware (Windows CE Thin Client) in a LAN environment is $994 and in a WAN environment is $1,194.
