DebianDay/Talk6
From DebConf7
Free software in the commercial environment
Chris Halls, Credativ Ltd
Talk to anyone at the Debian conference, and they'll tell you that Linux is ready for the enterprise. Your office workers might tell you they don't know what Linux is, or why they should be interested. But chances are they are already using Linux in some form or another, and that trend is increasing.
In this talk we will take a look at places where Linux and Free Software are in use already, and the reasons why organisations are making the switch.
