If you are starting a business a lot of us are on a thin budget. Saving money on software can help. Here are some tips below:
1. OS - if you are using a business only computer, a version of Linux may be a good option. If all you need is productivity type software there is no reason to throw a lot of money at Windows and MS Office.
2. Accounting: For those starting a business or just wanting to do their own expenses, a good alternative to expensive software like Quicken is the free GnuCash.
3. Office Suite: LibreOffice has worked well for me for several years. I started using it when MS dikked me over on my license for Office (ended support and I didn't want to upgrade). It can read/write all types of MS Office files and do most stuff for Word/Excel/Powerpoint.
4. Mail System: Thunderbird works for me as well and is easy to configure. It can even scale for a small company.
Any other ones people can recommend?
