  • automated processes include: diagnostics, long uploads or downloads, lengthy setups, etc.

Discounts

• I generally discount any work installing or supporting Linux. I strongly encourage everyone to try Linux, and offer incentives to switch, because Linux is:
  • much easier to support than Windows
  • totally free of charge -- which also means no registration codes or master discs to lose, no verification process
  • less prone to viruses, malware, and general instability
• Sliding-scale pricing is available for public interest projects. Tell me more about your project and I will tell you what I can offer.
• Bulk rate pricing available for larger projects.
