Well, I’ve been hornswaggled. My lovely brand-new ASUS Eee from Myer may have been a shop-soiled demo model. It wasn’t a virgin system but one that had played the field with many.

Here’s a genuine app that I wrote for an ISP. They needed a way to let their help desk staff perform system administration functions in a controlled manner, through a simple menu of choices. The solution was pretty simple: a controlled environment with no shell access plus a series of programs and scripts that were elevated if required by sudo.

Many of the best-organised software projects around the world are the legions of free and open source offerings. This is in part due to one reason, namely the tight use of source code control and versioning systems to keep the code base clean and in a known state. If you’ve wanted access to the latest build of your favourite apps or if you want to contribute your own mods, the key is to master the source control suite. I’ll introduce Subversion and show you it’s actually pretty simple.

Last week I touched on some Microsoft backflipping over Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) when it comes to Linux. It had been claimed that although Linux was a free operating system, Windows had a lower overall cost with all factors considered due to its greater ease of administration. Yet, this is no longer the case, with Microsoft’s server line now using a Bash-inspired command line system called PowerShell.

A friend said to me recently that “Firefox is for the home, Internet Explorer is for the office.” His comments reflect commonly found stigma and fears that free and open source software – and Linux too – are not suitable for a business environment. Let me set the record straight, giving real feedback from companies who have made the switch and don’t look back.
