| What
can Linux do for my business?
The question that should be asked here is, "What can't
my business do with Linux?" When it comes to Linux there
is not much you cannot do. With Linux's rapidly growing popularity,
it is not only opening doors to new possibilities but also
giving a variety of doors to open. Database, email, file,
ftp, print and web servers are just a few topics Linux excels
at.
