| or public institutions, Open Source software has in the past years become a 
| reliable alternative to commercial solutions. And not just because it is less 
| expensive. Businesses are becoming increasingly convinced of the quality of 
| this free software. And while the Linux operating system has been dominating 
| the Open Source scene for the last decade, new and advanced products are 
| continuously establishing themselves in the market.

| ...open source and Linux skills are very hot. "Linux is one of the fastest 
| growing, if not required, then recommended skills that most of the
