| Mr. Powers advocated using free and open source
| software like the Linux operating system and
| OpenOffice. Instead of investing in proprietary
| software which costs hundreds of dollars per
| user, Mr. Powers recommended investing in
| people to support free software. As a
| professional system administrator and IT
| director of over 15 years, he is well familiar
| with the total cost of ownership of large
| enterprise deployments. At the school district
| where he works, we has been able to convince
| the board that savings to the tune of $90K+ of
| savings that Linux is worth doing, even though
| this means training adults to use unfamiliar
| Linux desktop software such Open Office.
| Children, according to Mr. Powers, do not care
| what software they use therefore they do not
| require Linux desktop training. As you are
| honest about the softwareâs shortcomings,
| moving to Linux will be worth it.

| Last week we provided benchmarks of Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 4, but Ubuntu is not
| the only Linux distribution preparing for a major update in the coming
| months. Also released in the past few days were OpenSuSE 11.2 Milestone 6 and
| Mandriva Linux 2010.0 Beta 1. To see how these three popular distributions
| compare, we set out to do our usual Linux benchmarking dance.
