The answer is an emphatic yes. Many people are under the impression that open-source software is an option only to be used when there is no in-house solution for a technological problem. One would be surprised to know that many companies are going in for open source software which is subsequently made to suit their own requirements. This software is known as custom-made open source software. Why companies like Linux are going in for open-source Linux software is because many technological giants can afford to buy the software according to their requirements and off the shelf, but the ordinary people are looking for options in which they can save a lot of money as well as get the functions that they require in their software. That is why it is quite sensible to look for places where you can get open source Linux software and open source Windows software and then get them customized according to your requirements to get the perfect user custom software. This can be done by us. There are many cases when you are not going to get your software off the shelf. All you have to do is browse through our catalogs and look at the list of software which we have. If any of the software meets your requirements, you can buy it from us. Then you can get it modified according to your requirements from us! That is what custom-made open source software is all about. The same thing goes for modifications in open source Perl scripts and PHP scripts.
Now take the example of software which you have just bought online or downloaded from the company website. After a couple of days of work, on the software, you find yourself extremely satisfied with its functioning. The software is extremely useful. Suddenly you find a message popping up every 5 seconds, asking you to buy the software and register the license number, before you can proceed any further in the proceedings. You get so irritated that you remove the software from your computer and start looking on the Internet for other options which do not annoy you so often. But if you come to us, we can modify your software according to your requirements so that it does not keep wondering if you have registered or not instead of continuing with its normal function of designing your website, doing your accounting or doing your online selling for you. All this is done in a completely professional manner to give you complete satisfaction and full value for your money. So if you want your open source Windows software and your open-source Linux software made into customized open-source software, according to your requirements and specifications, come to us!

Open Source is used in a number of corporate sector companies. However, is really accepted or understood, the answer to that is no. But if you deal with companies this needs to be explained. One of the problems with Open Source software is that there is no "paid" support so if something goes wrong there is no fall back position.
Since a lot of companies can't accept down time they sign up package solutions to guarantee uptime of their solution. So there is no right or wrong answer in truth, but the important thing is to be able to explain to the clients what the impact of using Open Source software.
Sun Solaris is now open source.
Yep you heard it here first… it’s got a name only a GEEK would love…”GIMP”
Difficult to pick favorites. There’s Blender, a 3D modelling and animation suite. For many simple programs I use Python, one of the more robust and user friendly programming languages around. And I use Maxima for some mathematics. Among the most important to me are screen and ssh (putty if on S60 or Windows), but I suppose those aren’t as relevant as the first introduction. Finally, nobody should miss Simon Tatham’s portable puzzle collection.
Last time I checked, which admittedly was about 1996 or so, the Gimp could record macros. Also, it has support for several different scripting languages, of which Python isn’t even the first.
No, coursework in classes is part of your education because most coursework is theoretical concepts working in ideal work projects with a teacher to help you out. Unless you created a working project of significant value that is impressive enough to mention, it all falls under "Education".
Experience comes from a job where many variables exist to cause all sorts of problems and you've proven that you can handle not only the work, but that you've made things work despite the problems in a production environment.
Believe me, work experience is nothing like class work. The education gives you a foundation to give you skills for a job, but the actual work in a job is a very different scenario in the real world.
Nixie I don’t know it……I WILL HAVE to STAY AFTER CLASS…..YIPEEEE!!! eh I mean thats AWFUL I feel soooo stupid!!!!
Are you a developer? If not, then there are no advantages. If you are creating a new application, then using open source programs can help you to understand the full capabilities that are available.

Even though I use the commercial free version more… VirtualBox is my winner.
I'm pretty sure that it is legal. Take this open source plugin for Photoshop, for instance:
http://www.telegraphics.com.au/svn/icoformat/trunk/dist/README.html
As long as the products' license agreement doesn't forbid such "modifications", it is legal.
firefox is okay, but kinda 2008. try srware iron. its also free/open source, but a google chrome clone. that means its faster, looks better by default and the feeling is slim and clean.
Theres a new site out call uPressed.com
looks promising
