Open Source Gaining Corporate Acceptance
,----[ Quote ]
| There are a lot of clichés about free stuff. Most of them are not great.
| Things like "you get what you pay for" or "nothing good comes for free"
| would lead you to believe that free products, by definition, are inferior
| to more expensive products and should be avoided.
|
| When it comes to software applications, this outlook does not necessarily
| hold true. Open-source software provides a number of options that are
| often as good, or better, than their commercial or retail competition.
| Traditionally, executives and network administrators have frowned upon
| most open-source software for one reason or another. The reality is
| that budgets are tight and open-source products have matured, and
| companies should start to consider open-source products for their networks.
