Advantages of Free Software

March 16, 2009 - 18:27


When it comes to free software the first thing you think and I will not pay for the license but does the advantage of free software and that the amount spent on the license.

 

If sadly mistaken who think that the issue of the license and the principal of free software can enumerate here but also dozens of possibilities of use for free software but my order and show what benefits.

 

one of the main benefits and personalization, with the use of free software it can be easily customized according to the need we have good examples out of where several distributions are created from a different starting point, distributions like Ubuntu, , Hed hat ( commercial) departed from the kernel and open source software.

 

-Freedom to run a program for any purpose;
· Freedom to study a program, and adapt it to their needs;
· Freedom to distribute copies and thus help a colleague, an institution of any;
· Freedom to improve the program and deliver them to the community.

 

Appropriate solution for each situation using the free software I can create my own software based on the existing me.

 

But there is a difference between free software and paid software

 

Free software is a very important concept in the computing world. In basic form, when software is free, it means that your source code is available to anyone and you can change it to suit your needs, without having to pay. Thus, free software is actually free, but only use this term to describe software without is a gross error.


In this link there is an excellent article on this subject => http://www.infowester.com/linlivrexfree.php

 

Another great benefit of using free software and its large community featuring millions of users, developers, beta testers, forum, blogs and other community members with this giant problems are solved in a short time it is noteworthy that not only the language portguessa but in countries thousands of free software community exists, and millions of volunteers to support.


For the owner of cyber cafe and the great advantage that you have a difference in knowing something that is entering the market and with a certain force. Then the owner of a cybercafé knowing handle the linux / open source software can create custom solutions. and fools who think that free software does not generate revenue for free software professionals are very well paid to say in passing as a matter of Supply and Demand market.
