Need to give a presentation on the benefits of Linux

[Arch Willingham]

I just finished giving the presentation about three minutes ago. They were blown out of the water about Linux.

Thanks for all of y'all's comments and help!

Another point is that it is MUCH safer to invest time, mindshare and 
money in an open project.  Apache isn't going anywhere, your competitors 
aren't going to buy it, it will work basically the same for at least the 
next few years...  Microsoft can't change the licensing for it once they 
have you addicted and make you pay each year like a trapped animal...

Even projects that might fade away leave you all the bits you need to 
support it internally: if the quality was good, that is not only no 
worse than using internally generated software, but much better because 
it cost you $0 to develop...  If you get into that situation you can 
also offer money to the original devs to maintain it for you...

I'm sure somebody can step up and help me, but I can't think of any 
negatives about using FOSS stuff.
