“We conducted a dip-stick survey and found that almost all the
SMBs we spoke to did not allocate a high end system for
accountants. The hardware is either built around an older Intel
Celeron or AMD Sempron processor. In case of a newer system, entry
level processors are used. Some of the systems we came across still
had the Windows 9x series of OS’. This is good news if you want to
migrate as the chances of all the hardware being supported by Linux
are higher.”
