Looking for a new machine or have an old clunker that needs an overhaul - maybe you've finally said "enough is enough" with Windows. Before sinking a lot of money into a new MS based computer, consider a Linux solution. Win 7 runs between $100- $225 depending on the version - save this amount or add a better hardware upgrade with this money. This open-source software will operate most computer types - and runs on older computers . A significant attribute of the Linux approach is that it has operating systems (OS) tailored for a specific use and for PCs that have seen better days. A few bucks spent on converting your existing computer to Linux can save you a bunch of money and agony. I've assembled a few news feeds and resources here to help you find more about the Linux operating system. You can also contact me for direct consultation.
