Open Source Software ( Linux ) is peer reviewed by the public and is considered more secure than Closed Source Software ( Windows ), which is only reviewed by the company that created it. Linux is user-friendly, free to use, share, modify and re-distribute indefinitely. The flexibility to change the source code gives Linux the single most important advantage in that our own local engineers can mold it as per the requirements of the application. The use of Open Source Software in government and education is recommended.
