There are many good reasons to install Linux in small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), in corporate departments, and in smaller subsidiaries. Still, some prospective Linux buyers raise a number of concerns as to why not to install Linux in their environments.

To respond to these concerns, Novell, in cooperation with IBM, has built a lowcost, turnkey Linux implementation that includes an integrated database and application server, as well as an easy to deploy Linux file/print server.
