Linux: making small businesses possible
Here at Lone Wolves we do more than just blog and write open source software. We have a small company as well and we build websites for equally small businesses in the area. It's nothing big, not even full time, but it pays for this website and the servers we need to keep our projects running. It's Linux that made this possible. If we would have been stuck on the Windows platform there is no way we could have done what we do because it would simply have been too expensive.
I am going to give you three scenarios. The first one will show the cost if we would have drunk the kool-aid and bought the latest and greatest of anything we needed and Microsoft or it's preferred ISVs offered. The second scenario shows a more realistic Windows setup that we would use on a tight budget. The third scenario is what we actually use: Linux.
