After a long period of resistance to Linux in general we have offered Linux specifically CentOS to clients. The response to our offering of CentOS and Virtual-Min has almost been alarming. We have given enough demos to our clients that we have seen the number of machine builds grow by over 300%. Being a exclusive windows host for over 10 years made us wonder if we would be overwhelmed by support.

We have to give alot of credit to the guys at Virtualmin for this lack of support we originally expected. We have many comments from clients who have been exclusive windows people for years. Quotes like; "You have made the web developer enviroment exciting again"! We stumbled on this install tutuorial on the web and thought we woud share it with people looking to setup their own local boxes. "Learn More"

We have also been exploring Ubuntu for desktops with everyone complaining about windows vista. It is clear some of the free alternatives these days are just as good as going out and blowing your wad on a OS. We personally love this article from a MAC user who decided to give Ubuntu a spin. It was a nice read without all the typical lame input. It seemed the writer learned, there are other OS options available that acutally run better than MAC. Go Figure! Full Article.
