TruItSupport Brisbane Queensland IT system support for Windows and Linux computer networks
TruItSupport have quite a few customers who are using Fedora Linux as their desktop operating system.
Some of these desktops have been in service for three to four years with no issues at all (none!).
One customer has Six Linux desktop computers running as POS devices.
Not one has required a reboot in more than three years.
These machines have proved their worth as they have run flawlessly, providing fantastic return on investment for the business.
The cost to business of computer stoppages (even reboots because of lock-ups) is enormous.
Using Linux and well specified hardware we have been able to entirely eliminate outages for our customers who are prepared to try it.
On this page we will be putting links to some solutions we come across with our usage of Fedora Linux. We expect this list to grow over time but it is starting small with one article.
We also hope in future to add some "war stories" describing how we have used Linux in business to great effect giving major cost savings to the companies using it.

Are you wasting money and resources by having equipment that is too old?
Compact fluorescent performance decreases over time.
While a filament does exist in these lamps, the real work of making light is done by the gas discharge. The light bulb does not just “burn out,” but instead slowly degrades over time putting out less and less light. Because this decay is slow it often goes unnoticed by users until the performance is well below acceptable. The same thing applies to computer monitors. Staff are often staring a monitors that are several years old. This is not only a work place safety issue as it effects the well being of the user but it lowers efficiency of the workers as they strain to comprehend quickly and accurately exactly what they are reading. Given the relative low cost of these devices there is little excuse for not having you monitors less than three years old.
"Whilst it is not exactly the same thing you do get a similar loss of efficiency with windows based computers over time. As the computer gets used more and more and as programs are added and removed there is an apparent loss of performance."
This loss of performance also effects the output of the user so it is also a wise idea to keep the life of your computers relative low if you want to get the best out of your staff. Just as running old fluorescent lamps is a false economy so is running old computer equipment.
