Even if you are running Microsoft Windows and are getting tired of the battle General Techniques can help, but to be truthful General Techniques does specialize in working with UNIX and LINUX. LINUX can perform most of the things that Windows does, without many of the licensing issues that Windows programs have. Licensing for most LINUX application is a lot more liberal than similar applications that run under Windows, in fact the license for LINUX and its application gives you the right to copy or freely distribute the software.

The important thing to remember is that the computer is only a tool, a means to an end. You really don't care what software runs on that computer, or for matter, whether you are using a computer in the first place, so long as job gets done. General Techniques can help you evaluate whether LINUX applications can get your job done. There are still many software applications that do not run under LINUX or for that matter their LINUX equivalent many not be as good as what may be available elsewhere.

What good is a free application under any operating systems compared to a reasonably priced commercial application that gets your job done in half the time. General Techniques can help you make that decision.

General Techniques provides services, such as mail hosting, system and network administration and system integration predominantly for LINUX and UNIX based environments. General Techniques can also help you implement Voice Over MP solutions for you office.
