The Bottom Line

This review focused on Linux Red Hat 7.1 from a business user's view and attempted to answer my client's question "Can Linux be used as a replacement for Windows 2000". After an intensive hands-on Linux project lasting several months, I was able to provide my client with a pertinent answer to this question. Based on a solid Linux business plan, my client decided that Linux was a good investment for most of the company's employees, but will retain a few key Windows computers in the office for specific applications. Connecting Linux and Windows computers on the same network, and sharing Office 97/2000 files between the different OSs, is easy and works well, thanks to Linux Red Hat and Star Office. The primary reason for this decision was a $10,000 saving on his IT budget! For support reasons, he decided to use a local Linux supplier for installation and configuration work. View the Summary and the Details.

For other business users, here is my advice: For whatever reason, if you want to get started with Linux, or implement an office network of Linux and Windows clients, Linux Red Hat 7.1 is very much the way to go. Linux Red Hat 7.1 can be used as an alternative to Windows 2000! You will be stunned by the bang for the buck that Linux bundled free "open source" software offers. Linux Red Hat is a complete server (LAN, Web, SQL) and offers excellent desktop applications for corporate users. Each business user will need to look at the benefits of using Linux (no software licensing fees, fewer hardware upgrades, many good applications) and the costs (installation, configuration, upgrades, training, support). If the benefits outweigh the costs, then you have an affordable viable desktop alternative to Windows.

Linux Red hat 7.1 is a great package: it provides a smooth installation, has many good applications and is an especially attractive option for small to medium-size offices. However, many business users will want to purchase a computer with Linux pre-installed, or at least use a Linux support professional for post-installation configurations, maintenance and upgrades, just as you currently do for Windows.

Hm. Real-life example: kod mene u kući 4 člana porodice koriste računar, naime ja, moja mlađa sestra, ćale i keva. Na mašini se nalaze Windows 2000 Pro, Linux Slackware, FreeBSD i Windows 98. Situacija je sledeća: sestra, keva i ja redovno bootujemo u FreeBSD, dok ćale koristi win2k. Sestra koristi računar za web (koristi Mozillu najradije, mada ima i Konqueror pred nosom) e-mail (KMail+fetchmail+lokalni sendmail), ICQ (licq) i igrice (kpat, foul eggs, kjezz...). Keva samo igra kmahjongg :o), dok ćale koristi win2k jer radi DTP (koristi CorelDRAW!, Venturu, Word i Excel). Naravno moram da još napomenem da niko od njih nije preterano upućen u bilo šta, jednostavno znaju da upišu korisničko ime i lozinku, i ukucaju startx (i manje od toga, ako je XDM podignut). Sestra još zna da koristi user-ppp (dve komande) i da podigne još jedan X na alternativnom displeju, ako sam ja ostavio već podignutu sesiju (jedna komanda). Naravno i te komande zna napamet, ne razumejući šta one znače (kao što i ne mora).

Dalje, ne slažem se da u ovo vreme sveprisutnih računara (naročito u nekom zapadnom smislu), ima smisla posmatrati kao ikakav činilac u nabavci PC-ja i instalaciji operativnog sistema njegovu ulogu kao što bolje gaming platforme, kada su igračke konzole kao što su PS2 ili GameCube dostupne po daleko manjim cenama nego što iznosi gorenavedena razlika u ceni softvera između Windows i Linux platforme.

Što bi rekao t0wk, toliko.

Zasto uopste gasite masinu? Lose je za hardware..
Evo ja iz X Window System-a ne izlazim po 5-6 dana.. ni tada ne bih morao, nego mi zatreba windows ponekad pa moram da se resetujem..

zaista retko ovo kazem, ali gojko slazem se sa tobom potpuno ( najzad !)

nego da se vratim na temu, naime random gore opisa svoju celu porodicu koja je cela Open Source orijentisana ( zaista se retko vidja ), svaka cast kako ih samo nabedi !
L;))
moje iskustvo je sasvim drugacije .... nevezano za moje kod kuce, nego u nekim drugim kucnim sredinama ...
izgovor je najcesce tipa: "Linux ??? aaaaaaaaaaa??? sta je to ???"
ili
"Ma necu ja mimo sveta"
"Windows ceo svet koristi"
itd....
random, pogledaj malo druge _kucne_ racunara .... i bice ti sve jasno .....

Pa nisam ja nikoga "nabeđivao". Šta oni znaju šta je Windows -- upališ računar i dobiješ neku sliku, i radiš. Šta nekome ko ne zna ništa znači da li se to zove Windows ili FreeBSD? Jednostavno je često ostajao meni podignut X, keva je provalila mahjongg i pasijans, sestra je bila jedno vreme na Windowsu pa se lagano prebacivala, kad je videla da može da podigne KDE na drugom display-u dok ja nisam tu, a da mene ne izloguje, da može da prima i šalje mail dok je offline i slično... Jednostavno čovek koristi ono što mu je zgodnije. Da bi imao predrasude o kojima ti pričaš ipak mora nešto da zna, makar to nešto bilo rekla-kazala. Daj čoveku koji nikad nije koristio računar mašinu sa instaliranim Unixom ili čime-već i on će to da koristi, po principu "šta zna dete šta je sto kila, uhvati pa nosi"...
