Alternatives to Microsoft - discussion on TechSoup
Ask your questions here this week! The hosts of this event, Greg Beuthin (CompuMentor's Technology Consultant and TechSoup's Hardware guide), Joe Cancilla (TechSoup's Content Developer and Open Source guide), and Michael Schrecker (CompuMentor's Technology Consultant and Systems Administrator) will discuss the alternatives to the Windows operating system.
From December 3rd-7th, ideas like these will be explored:
* What are the benefits of using alternative software?
* Is it difficult to work within an alternative operating system?
* Should your organization go with Mac, PC, or both?
* Is Mac OS X appropriate for nonprofits? What is the future of Mac anyway?
* What is Linux and how do you get it?
* What options are there for Mac databases beyond Filemaker?
Though alternative software products don't get the attention they deserve, they can often save money and may be a better match for your
organisation. Join the discussion in the TechSoup Community.
