Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY (1888PressRelease)
August 31, 2009 - ShopForLinux Announces Launch of New Website, Provides Linux Distributions (Operating Systems) and Computers with Linux Pre-Installed.
ShopForLinux offers Linux Distributions and PC’s in the most affordable manner, in order to raise awareness of low-cost alternatives to proprietary operating systems.
In the world of operating systems today, Microsoft undeniably has the strongest foothold. Most, if not all computer users are familiar with Microsoft’s most popular product, Microsoft Windows. Many do not know that there are alternatives to Windows that are much less expensive, easier to support, and more secure operating systems available.
ShopForLinux (www.ShopForLinux.com) is a new company based in Upstate New York that provides just such an alternative. ShopForLinux offers operating systems based on both Linux Kernel and the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) Kernel. With distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and many more available, ShopForLinux offers more quality distributions than any other provider, and is proud to be able to offer affordable worldwide shipping.
When asked about the new business, ShopForLinux owner Jason English replied, “We saw a need to educate the general public on the availability of a great alternative to expensive and proprietary software. Microsoft has the most visible position in the market, and as such controls the market. That translates to new revisions of their OS every few years that requires the consumer to upgrade equipment in order to stay current. Many perfectly good computers end up being discarded, and many millions of dollars spent every time this happens. With Linux or BSD, even a computer that was designed to run Windows 98 can be saved from this unnecessary cycle, while still running a safe, fast, and current operating system. In short, Linux saves money and computers from being wasted.”
At www.ShopForLinux.com, you’ll find all the most popular Linux and BSD distributions available on CD, DVD, and USB media. ShopForLinux is constantly updating their catalog, and has now begun shipping their own line of Linux PC’s and related hardware, including their newest product, the Green PC, an energy efficient computer for home and office use. Come and see what ShopForLinux can do for you.
