This book introduces small business owners to the power and security of Linux and other FOSS tools to manage any small business as well as the many advantages it has over expensive, proprietary software. While exploring the reasons for using Free Open Source Software, you'll investigate the assertion that, "The value of any software lies in its usefulness not in its price," set forth by Linux Torvalds, the creator of Linux. This book examines the use of Linux and also the other Free Open Source Software you need to meet your business challenges including the usual accounting, Email, web browsing, word-processing tasks. You will be introduced to advanced tools such as those that enable you to create audio and video clips you can use to promote your business or that can even be your primary product, such as how-to instruction. Most small business owners perform many tasks including that of administering their computers. This book shows you how to find and install new software you need to run your business and keep it up to date using the tools already provided by Linux and the secure, trusted repositories available online. It also explores how to decide which tasks to do in-house and which you might want to sub out to external resources such as advertising and contact services to attract and keep customers. Linux for Small Business Owners provides some logic, reason, and explanation for each of the steps that are needed and the tools used to implement Linux in your small business. It is a detailed guide to removing Windows from your computers and installing Linux and some commonly used open source software like the LibreOffice suite of programs, accounting, and other software useful to many small businesses. It also provides the information and tools necessary to manage and maintain Linux and applications up-to-date and secure. 001448393 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001448393 63000 $$aLinux. 001448393 650_0 $$aSmall business$$xManagement. 001448393 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001448393 7001_ $$aBulka, Cyndi,$$eauthor. 001448393 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBoth, David P., 1946-$$tLinux for small business owners.$$dNew York : Apress, 2022$$z9781484282632$$w(OCoLC)1328018836 001448393 852__ $$bebk 001448393 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4842-8264-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001448393 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1448393$$pGLOBAL_SET 001448393 980__ $$aBIB 001448393 980__ $$aEBOOK 001448393 982__ $$aEbook 001448393 983__ $$aOnline 001448393 994__ $$a92$$bISE
