Summary

In this chapter, I discussed the ability of Linux to be used in the enterprise environment. I demonstrated the ability of Linux to perform everyday tasks required of a desktop and of a server in the enterprise environment, along with the software needed to provide these services. I also alerted you to the fact that these software packages may need to be downloaded or installed after the installation of the base operating system. I also pointed out that the hardware should be verified with the help of the HCL, which is provided by the Linux vendors. Linux was also compared to other operating systems with respect to cost, services provided, and budget and staffing support requirements.
