| I can remember when many opponents of Linux
| would claim that open source technology is
| not business friendly that the
| opportunities to profit are too limited.
| There are few people saying that these days
| even amongst the opponents. Many companies
| have profited from building services around
| Linux and many companies have risen through
| building products and services around
| Linux.
|
| The PTR Group is one of these companies.
| They have been around for 10 years now.
| They have enjoyed rapid growth with steady
| double digit annual growth percentages.
| They provide training to the two main
| distributors of embedded Linux products.

| These companies spend millions on staffing
| and paid programmers in the course of a
| year, so why couldnât some of that money be
| set aside for some advertising. When was
| the last time we saw a commercial
| advertising Linux? And not on youtube but
| on actual television programming.

| You get what you pay forâ?
|
| We have all experienced the truthfulness of
| this at one time or the other. Sometimes
| when you get something at a low cost it
| does not turn out to be a quality product.
| People need to see Linux in action. They
| need to see how well it runs and the many
| features that is available to linux users
| such as compiz fusion etc that are not
| available to Windows users. The truth is
| that some times the old you get what you
| pay for expression simply is not the case.
| Sometimes the best product is also the
| lowest priced. And this is something that
| many have not yet learned is the case with
| many versions of Linux.
