Red Hat and LinuxIT target Linux-baffled small businesses

'How to' guides to make open source SMEsy-peasy

NEWS

Red Hat is hoping to tempt more SMEs towards the way of the penguin.

The open source vendor has signed an agreement with consulting and managed services company LinuxIT to target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which cite 'lack of experience' as their main reason for shying away from Linux deployments.

The pair have put together some tools, including video tutorials, guiding SMEs through typical tasks using Linux, such as how to set up a print server.

The companies will also be holding seminars to spread the Linux word and giving small businesses the chance to trial Red Hat's Enterprise Server.

LinuxIT has previously partnered with Red Hat in the training area, putting a "substantial investment" into Red Hat's training programmes.
