“This month and next I’m giving you an overview of using Linux
to manage file and print serving for your Windows machines, share
your Internet connection, and security.”
“An average Linux distribution costs $50, with no additional
license fees no matter how many times you copy it or how many users
network through it.”
“Windows 2000 costs $1199, with 10 client licenses, and
requires at least a Pentium II 333, 256 megs RAM, and 2 gigabytes
disk space. (The official specs say Pentium 133, but I’m speaking
from experience.) Functionally, they do the same things. In my
opinion, however, Linux does it better.“
