Myths and Facts

We want to provide this information so that you can be as educated as possible. Rather than hide one side or the other, you should be presented with all of the facts.

Groklaw - A site devoted to countering FUD about Linux and Open Source. Currently focused mostly on the SCO issue, but you will find other interesting articles there as well.

A SCO-Fighting Press Kit (OnLAMP Article) - It is on our shoulders, each and every one of us, to help combat the SCO FUD. There's so much good debunking material out there that it should be easy for people to plop it on the boss's desk or forward an email with a list of juicy links. Since a lot of people aren't going to take the time (or just don't have the time) to collect these, I thought I'd pull together a listing of material with the help of some research and my readers.

The IDA Open Source Migration Guidelines - The IDA Open Source Migration Guidelines provide practical and detailed recommendations on how to migrate to Open Source Software (OSS)-based office applications, calendaring, e-mail and other standard applications. They have been developed with guidance from public sector IT experts from Denmark, Finland, Italy, Germany, Malta, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey. The relevance and readability of the Migration Guidelines were validated with the help of the regional authorities of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
