Saving money on corporate networks

Using Linux as part of your network, you could implement interesting use cases.

No hard drive/Network boot
You can load a Linux OS on your desktop, without hard drive devices. All programs and utilities are stored on centralized server. If you have old computers you can use them as part of your network again.

Compatibility
You may want to use your Linux Desktop to use Windows based programs, a good approach, is use Remote Desktop (RDP) to access a Windows Server.

Licencing
You cannot pay any money in order to use Linux OS. It doesn't matter how much Desktop your network has, just decide to use and start to save.


How much do you want to save?
