Linux is steadily growing in popularity with home computer users, and yet there are still millions of people who have never seen or heard about Linux. Many of these people use a computer every day to browse the internet, check email, organize contacts and do the hundreds of other tasks that the average computer user does. Linux allows you to do all of these tasks, and much more, without the extra costs usually associated with computer use, such as anti-virus subscriptions or software costs. This is because Linux isn't as vunerable to viruses or hacker threats as other operating systems are, and you can choose from thousands of free software packages to download and install with just a few mouse clicks. For your convenience, our computers come with several applications pre-installed. Click here to see a partial list.
