Why?

Why Linux?

Security For years we have lived with viruses and trojans in Windows. In the spring of 2004 we saw an explosion of spyware, spam relays, and password sniffers. You see almost none of this under Linux.

You've got computer problems? Everybody's got computer problems. There are only two basic solutions: throw money at Microsoft, or learn Linux.

Why Now?

Linux is already the master of the server industry. Linux runs the Internet. But Linux has been playing catch-up on the desktop. Linux servers are excellent; Linux workstations were hard to use but are getting better. The line has been crossed - the Linux desktop is usable. The Linux community has been saying "someday" for years; I am happy to announce that "someday" is today.

Why Thailand?

For the past two decades computer systems in Thailand have run on pirate copies of Microsoft operating systems. But with the growth of international trade and globalization, the world economy will no longer tolerate software piracy. If you're running pirate copies of Windows, the BSA will knock on your door. Pay up, or switch to Linux.

Why Arakka?

Linux is as good as Windows. But it isn't the same. All the features you need are on the menus, but the menu items aren't in the same places and may not use the same words. Installation can be confusing. You can use it, you should use it. But you want help. That's where Arakka comes in. We know Linux.
