Businesses have been spending too much money on software and licences. Most guys don't know about open source software. In brief, open source software means free software. For the past 5 years, I have been involved in the open source software community. We have written some of the most used software on the Internet such as Apache webserver, chances are your website is hosted on it. Now I have compiled some of the most useful open source business software in the community to share with everyone else. If you want to see a list of the software, just go to the following link.

Enjoy!

Although free software does sound good at first. There are draw backs to it. usually you dont get the quality support like you get from well know products like sage line 50 etc. The is also the possibility that exploits can be within the software and/or that it may not be fully operational.

We have written some of the most used software on the Internet such as Apache webserver<<<http://www.apache.org/ will love that come to it i dont even see your company registered at sourceforge. Please correct me if aim wrong but as far as i can tell your blatently ripping the credit for apache off,The few people who do spend there time developing opensource deserve there credit If people like yourself steal that why should they even bother.Gareth

Sorry that i have offended you i am a keen user of apache server and i do believe it is the best web server out there (far better than IIS). However my views where more on business dependant software such as accounting software and such. Again sorry i have offended you in expressing MY VIEWS.
Edit
Sorry for double post it said this one did not register but it obviously did

Hmmm, so you've gone from "written some of the most used software on the Internet such as Apache webserver" to "i am a keen user of apache server". I don't know why you tried to pass yourself off as one of the OS developers of Apache. Also, I don't see this as an "offer" from yourself - you're just linking to OS software that is freely available already.

Sorry but anybody doubting our credentials really doesn't know anything about free software. In the open source community, different developers around the world comes together. Now for Apache foundations to list your name on their site you have to become a sponsor and dedicate a full time coder to the community.
Now I am offering free software, i am not even selling them. I do not see why start pointless arguments. Businesses spends too much money on software, but you want support. When was the last time that you have got real good support from any of those vendors. I have been working more than 7 years in the industry and i can tell you not that often. If you use Apache software I guess it's probably the webserver so you are a web designer or something in that domain. We are real IT professionals developing software as you can see from the product section of our site.
Therefore if you running your business on free software, why don't you want others to take the full advantage of it. For those real business minded people that need to save money just download the package from our site. We compile the community best software for you to download free of charge at:

my point was i carnt find your name at apache or anyother opensource forge that i do work at alli can see is a live cd at your site that for all i know you have just modded to suit your name iam a strong beliver in open source and have set up 3 of my local schools on linux distros that i worked on to help save them on licensing .And nice of you to give a distro away but you dont seem to be a developer at apache as far as i can see and this i belive is misleading to people who may want to use your services as apache is a excellent server but you have nothing to do with it so why mention it ?

I understand your point. I am not working for Apache as you can see from the name of my company, just type my name in google and you can see some of the articles i wrote in the past. To be listed in Apache first you have to be a member of the community and pay some fee so that they promote you on their site, that i don't need. You can improve the software by developing additional modules. Now if your code is accepted to be in the distro, thats nice. And I am happy that you actually using Linux instead of MS Windows because Linux is safer more robust and cheaper than alternatives thats the reason why MacOs X is built on it.
The LiveCD package on our site, www.etapix.com/livecd.html, is a collection of free software available on the Internet. Now saying that I am stealing credits from the developers, i strongly disagree as I know how tuff it can be to code. All the software on the package shows their developer site, you should run it to see, there are free to be used by anybody.
The package is freely available If you want advise on free software, why don't you send us an email at info@etapix.com

Well iam glad you see my point but :
For the past 5 years, I have been involved in the open source software community. We have written some of the most used software on the Internet such as Apache webserver, chances are your website is hosted on it.
To :
am not working for Apache
With this statement :
Now saying that I am stealing credits from the developers, i strongly disagree as I know how tuff it can be to code
Means to me you dont have a clue but at least you admited that you dont work with apache and that your live cd is just other peoples work you banged together so why would i ask you about free software when i have spent the last 12 years writing it and you just seem to steal the credit for it .

Now you lost me in your argument. I don't have a clue, I checked your website but can't find any real software that you wrote. You are not a developer and you will be misleading people by saying that you worked on the software for so many years, 12 actually. Have you ever read any of the open source licences. It's like saying that Mandrake can't distribute Linux because they didn't start the work with Torvald. Or better yet, Thames Water are selling something thats freely available like water.
The software are free, people don't know which one is the best for them, and my company role is to lead them in the right direction, ain't that how consultants get paid? Please don't mislead those people any more, I am not selling the software, I am just packaging them in the same way that you see on magazine cover. Nobody is claiming work on nothing, maybe if you spending sometime here is because you probably got too much time on your hand and we can help you invest it in a more profitable manner.
People are loosing interest in your argument as it's pointless. Please if you need any advise on free software just let us know at info@etapix.com. People contribute to the community in different ways therefore I suggest you quit here as it making a bad name for your business.
If you can decrypt this, I guess i won't hear from you again
