This site was created so that people could share their experiences with their conversions to Linux and other Open Source Software. The main focus of the site concentrates on applications required to conduct business or home matters, but does extend beyond that.

Some companies have vertical applications for which there is no corresponding open source package, but, there are many developers out there and perhaps with some collaboration, a package can be developed.

If not, you can still run closed source applications under linux using certain software packages, however, you might still find times when converting to Linux and Open Source solutions won't work for you. Hopefully this site will allow you to read other peoples experiences with the software you use.

Take a few minutes, look around, and contribute help if you can.
