How to save money by using office automation equipment with GNU / Linux instead of the familiar Windows? In the following pages we will make a detailed study and for that face the current champion, the most popular Linux distribution in the last two years, Ubuntu, in its current long-term support, 6.06 Dapper Drake.

XP Service Pack 2 operating system, Microsoft Office 2003 and office suite, Norton Internet Security 2007 to protect your computer from viruses, spy ware and intrusions, Norton System Works 2006 Basic Edition to slow the degeneration of all Windows and Win Zip Standard 10.0 to give the team some basic processing capabilities of compressed files.

If we ignore the unexpected problems, we can estimate the time of installation of the whole system at least 8 hours, and security updates. As long as you install a Microsoft operating system, it is recommended to do with the team physically isolated from the network and not connect it until you have installed antivirus software and intrusion protection.

This does not imply any endorsement, because until these products are not updated, your computer may be victim of any threats recently enough to not be detected by your installed base, but despite this, reduce the risk of seeing the infected PC before using it.

The maintenance of our PC with Ubuntu is fully automated. Each time you start the update manager informed of new versions of each package. As a centralized repository the manager will inform us of all updates to each and every one of the applications installed on the system, which therefore are updated in a single procedure.

The system itself prevents package dependencies for a package upgrade may damage the operation of another. From time to time is also updated version of the kernel and in those cases the recommended restart update managed.
