Open Source Solutions

Open source solutions are relay cool to use against paid ones. As a IT manager i'm successfully running my company's total infrastructure using open source technologies. Almost for all business needs there is an open source technology solutions. It is better then a proprietary software because these software are from multiple brain regardless of geographical limits. But currently the major proprietary vendor claims that "opens source is a bleeding end technology" and "there is no proper support". But I can say it is not bleeding edge in other way the software is ever growing. and you all know that lot of forums give open source technology supports. Even you get faster response then the paid ones. in forthcoming posts u can find lots of open source implementation stuff. so i ask you all to make this blog successful. Thank you.
