Open source vs closed source

Post date: Mar 31, 2010 12:45:38 PM

Both open source and closed source software are far from perfect. If you are new to computers then closed source software is probably for you, as the cost of training and getting yourself competent will exceed getting the cost of buying easier to use software. The support offered by closed source companies in Africa tends to be better than its open source competitors. There are companies that offer paid support for open source software, but again this is still relatively small in Africa. Anyway am an open source Linux and Unix expect.
