There's so much more to open source software than just Linux

Most of the publicity about open source software recently has
centred around Linux. Indeed, to many people, open source software and
Linux are almost interchangeable terms.
But there is much more to it than Linux. A variety of software is
available in open source. Websites such as Sourceforge and Freshmeat
list thousands of open source utilities and applications that anyone
can download at no cost.

Users can be operational within a few hours. You too could be running
your own fully functional ERP system, on your own PC, tomorrow.
The world, imperceptibly, is changing.
Hehe, I liked that final statement. Boo-yah!
