Linux is becoming an increasingly popular solution for many tasks, and for good reason. Almost all of the software that comes with a Linux distribution is freely available, is extremely powerful, flexible, and configurable, and is free from costly licenses.

Servers
Linux performs very well as a server. From the standards such as mail, news, web, and file servers to the proxy server, database backend server, and many more, there are an almost limitless number of server packages available for Linux. Linux also functions very well in environments requiring communication with other operating systems. Servers and clients are available to communicate with Windows, Apple, and Novell services.

Flexibility
Much of the software available for Linux is built with the power user in mind. A great amount of configurability and flexibility is provided in most parts of any Linux system. This allows the system to be used to its maximum and to perform specialized tasks that the original software authors had never dreamed of. Additionally, almost every conceivable operation on a Linux machine can be accessed from the command line. This means that many tasks can be scripted, customized, and automated to meet special needs.

Our Services
All of these features are great, but when it comes time to implement them and make use of Linux's power, the average computer user is lost. Even knowing what is available and where to find it can be a chore for a Linux beginner. If this is your situation, or even if you are an advanced Linux user but don't have the time to start your next project, we can help. We can discuss whether a Linux system is suited for your project and review the options that it would make available. We have experience with quite a wide variety of the uses and capabilities of Linux systems, and we can use that experience to provide you with the best solution. Linux is a powerful tool -- we can help you utilize it.

Remote Administration
Because the power of Linux is available from the command line, most of the configuration and implementation of Linux solutions can be performed remotely without ever physically touching the Linux machine. If your existing Linux computer needs to be maintained, debugged, or configured, working on it remotely is not a problem. We can work with you to access it over the internet, dial-up modem, or other methods -- whatever is best for you.

Typical Uses of Linux

Mail Server File/Print Services for Windows machines Development Platform Web Server Database Server Backup Server Firewall / Router Proxy Server FTP Server

Of course, keep in mind that these are just the standard uses of a Linux system. There are countless other miscellaneous services and functions that a Linux system can perform.
