Book Description

Using Free Software alternatives to Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop can save you thousands of dollars. And commercial alternatives to Free Software content management systems and websites design tools can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Free Software is also high quality. The web browser Firefox and the email software Thunderbird introduced security and powerful features before their commercial competitors did. Quality is why the Apache web server powers over 50% of the world's websites.

This book will show you how to use these tools in your company, charity, school or hospital.
