Why use Open Source software?
Open Source applications are developed by a huge community of highly skilled, dedicated and innovative programmers and developers; few, if any, organisations could afford to engage the same number of experts in a commercial venture. Many applications like Linux and Apache are so widely used that many people don’t even realise they are Open Source. Organisations and even Governments across the globe are seeing the advantages of deploying proven, versatile, standards based and cost effective software.
