Do you need an affordable, flexible, secure alternative to your current software? Free and open source software (F/OSS) including the GNU/Linux operating system may be right for you.

Four freedoms give you the flexibility you want.

[icons representing the freedoms to use, study, share, and improve]GNU/Linux is an ecosystem of software, standards, and services based on the freedoms to use, study, share and improve our software:

  • Free software doesn't have another agenda. There are no restrictions on how you use it.
  • Free software programs are highly customisable out of the box. If your needs are more complex, developers can change any part of the system to meet them.
  • GNU/Linux runs on a wide array of hardware, even on older systems. You can switch with the computers you already have.

Openness and integrity give you the security you need.

[icons representing computer networks]GNU/Linux excels in efficiency, stability, and security, and is a popular choice for Internet servers. The same benefits are available to your organisation:

  • Sound design and open review make GNU/Linux and other F/OSS systems highly secure. Integrate the Internet into your business without worrying about day-to-day security issues.
  • Many corporations, governments, and universities worldwide rely on free software including GNU/Linux. Major IT companies such as IBM, HP, and Sun actively promote F/OSS products and services.
  • Free software is based on open standards and compatibility, and excels in language support and accessibility.

Find the features you expect at a price you didn't.

GNU/Linux is a complete operating system, offering thousands of software packages totally free. After two decades of development, it is ready to empower your organisation.
