Here at Linuxfest and if there is one thing I’m taking away it’s how you need to make your tools work for you. It does you no good have something that is perfect for someone else’s environment.

I was approached by someone who works for a well known vendor that told me about how they used Open Source tools instead of a product that they make and sell. That should tell you something about how important it is to use the product that works the best for you, free or otherwise.

Hopefully more from Linuxfest ’09 later.
