Why Choose Linux ?

All software is built with source code. Open source means the code can be seen and changed. You can learn from it, bugs are quickly found and fixed.

In the proprietary model, development occurs within one company. Programmers write code, hide it behind binaries, charge customers to use the software and then charge them more to fix it when it breaks.

Open Source gives you the choice of who you want to maintain your software, safe in the knowledge that you can validate the work that has been done and that you have the code.

What are Subscriptions ?

All versions of Linux can be subscribed to system updates. It's a question of which you want to pay for. Subscriptions offer the following;

• Security fixes - as soon as they are available
• Updates - Bug fixes, essential new functionality and new hardware support
• Immediate access to general fixes between updates
• Hot fixes - the latest version of the impacted package, with the specific customer fix included, built for the customer's version and update
