[ubuntu-za] [Small Business]

[Raoul Snyman]

I really believe that small business is the place where Linux (currently)
can have a great impact. Also, South Africa is the country of small
business, the government having said as much, and pointed out how our
conditions in SA seem to "breed" successful small businesses.

One of the crucial parts of setting up a business of any size is costs.
This is where Linux wins out over Windows. Also, not only is it free, but
it's stable and, once set up, it doesn't need to be constantly pampered.

I myself am not in a position to be able to offer services like this, but I
really do think that this is the place we should concentrate a lot of our
effort. Unfortunately I'm also not 100% sure how to get the attention of
these businesses, perhaps others can help with ideas there.
