I am not sure I agree here. Running business with only open source software? It might be possible, but at some point or another you have to use some non-free stuff. For example your customers insist upon some proprietary software. Would you go about advocating free software to this guy and risk loosing him or yield to his requests and use proprietary software? I would say just keep an open mind. There are a lot of businesses that can be run on free software alone. I am doing it right now (disclaimer, I am running a proprietary point-of-sale system, but I certainly don't *have* to. I could easily use a cash register instead). I use only debian for all business related things: books kept in gnucash, spreadsheets in Openoffice or gnumeric depending, menus and glyers produced with inkscape or scribus, etc etc etc. I applaud the OP and wish him/her luck!

Blog about using Debian for a really small business...
I've started a blog about using Debian Linux to manage the daily operations of a really small business. I hope to run the business with only open source software, with Debian as my operating system. I can't make any promises about the regularity of the blog postings, but I will do my best to put up good material, and I hope the Debian community will view this as a good thing. http://debforsmallbiz.blogspot.com/ Scott Huey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
