Proprietary software? Counsel objects

  2008-07-18 14:30:02
Nathan Zale Dowlen objects to proprietary software, so when he opened his new law office, he outfitted it with Ubuntu Linux and open source software. Cost was the main factor in his decision at first, but he has since come to appreciate the security found in FOSS and the ease of use found with Ubuntu. Dowlen has used Linux and open source software since 2006, when he attended the Nashville School of Law, and had no trouble with compatibility, since"OpenOffice.org will open almost anything thrown at it." He recorded lectures with Audacity and even found that his"Linux based laptop did a better job of automatically finding printers on the school's wireless network than when it ran Windows."
