Hello everyone

I am a student from the University of New south Wales, Sydney Australia. I am currently writing a research paper about Linux adoption for small business, so i am very interested in the community experience and feeling about this subject

These are many technical factors cited by computer expert regarding Linux adoption, but then again to understand deeply about factors that influence small business owner decision to choose linux, we need to know directly from them. What consideration they make when making this choice, what strategic business plan that make them choose windows, why this particular business situation force them to choose linux, et cetera.

I will post questions to start the discussion in this subject and then gather all reply as my data for further analysis. Your answer, thoughts, opinion, or comment is highly appreciated.



If you are currently managing business, or had business experience in the past, or in the planning stage to start a new one, feel free to answer any of these following questions
• What do you think in general about Linux operating system?
• Will you choose Linux operating system for your business computing needs? Please describe your reasons.
• If you do not like the current state of Linux, what change you want to see that might encourage small business to use it?
• If you had experience in deploying Linux for your business, please share it in this thread. What are the difficulties you encountered? How do you solve it?
• If you never heard about Linux, can you give the reason? Example: maybe because you delegate computer matter in business to someone else, or maybe you don’t want to look other option beyond windows, etc.



Really hoping for a feedback from you all,

Hi
