The Penguin Driven Church Office


Linux logo -for those who don't know the penguin is the symbol for LinuxPosted by Hello
Some of you will remember that open source is a cause I advocate. Here's something to help you to take it on board; it will be cheaper for your church... and there's a hint of a theological reason for supporting it in the article too. Then there are a good few reasons to consider it where Linux scores over windows [multiple desktops so you can be working on different projects fairly easily without having too untidy a desktop, for example].

Things that the article mentions like OpenOffice.org and Mozilla for web browsing are available [free!] for windows too so you can experiment before crossing platforms. Most Linux distributions also allow you to partition you hard-drive so that you can always cross back to windows if you get something you aren't confident of in linux ...

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
